WINE DESCRIPTION
The Denis Mortet name is synonymous with exceptional quality in Gevrey-Chambertin. Founded in 1991 by Denis Mortet with half of his father's vineyards, the domaine quickly gained acclaim for its wines' depth, texture, and complexity. Following Denis's passing in 2006, his son Arnaud took over, continuing the family's legacy with skill and dedication. Arnaud's approach involves meticulous vineyard work, reducing extraction, and using less new oak, enhancing the wines' complexity. The domaine now spans 11 hectares, including the legendary Chambertin, producing wines celebrated for their lush fruit and intricate flavors, admired by collectors and sommeliers alike.
