Domaine Denis Mortet Les Champeaux – Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru – Red – 2021:

 

The Ultimate Premier Cru: Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux

The Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champeaux’ is a benchmark of luxury Burgundy. Hailing from a prestigious Premier Cru climat, this wine embodies the Mortet family’s commitment to excellence, now spearheaded by Arnaud Mortet. The estate’s meticulous vineyard work, including horse-drawn ploughing, ensures an expressive, profound, and age-worthy wine that truly reflects its exceptional terroir.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Black and intense, a truly deep ruby hue.
• Nose: A powerful bouquet of dark fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) with subtle floral hints of peony and violet. Over time, expect complex notes of truffle, forest floor, and sweet spice to emerge.
• Palate: Exceptional concentration and a full-bodied structure, where the palate is enveloped by silky, yet firm tannins. The finish is long, profound, and persistent, closing on fresh berry flavors. This wine is built for the cellar and represents a complete expression of top-tier Gevrey.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

A wine of this caliber demands equally refined cuisine. Decant for one hour and serve at 60-62°F (16°C).

• Pairing: Prime Beef Tenderloin, Mushroom-stuffed Beef Wellington, Roasted Duck Breast, Rich Venison Stew, Mature Cheeses.
