From vines over 50 years of age. This is finer and more elegant if reserved with reticent, ripe and earthy red pinot fruit that displays a touch of forest floor that slides into delicious, rich and full-bodied flavors that possess good dry extract levels and a mouth coating finish that possesses excellent phenolic maturity. A serious villages built to age that is recommended. 2013+ 89 Points” Allen Meadows, Burghound Issue 33 Jan 2009

Clive Coates on Domaine Denis Mortet: “But of course great winemaking cannot be encapsulated in a single paragraph. It is about a meticulous attention to detail from the vineyard onward, a very low yield, a very severe selection of fruit and, above all, flair and imagination...The wines are full-bodied, concentrated, harmonious, intensely flavoured and splendidly elegant.” The Wines of Burgundy (revised), 2008 

The late Denis Mortet’s son Arnaud has now taken over completely the responsibility for the vines and winemaking. The young Mortet is already renowned in Burgundy for the quality of his vineyard work and grower after grower spoke admiringly of how Arnaud has picked up right where his father left off. I should add that compliments from colleagues when it concerns vineyard work are given sparingly in Burgundy but the two domaines that are routinely mentioned are Mortet and Groffier....The Mortet ‘06s came in at or above my predicted ranges and the sweet spot is the group of Gevrey 1ers as they are really lovely wines.
