Domaine Denis Mortet is a renowned producer of premium Burgundy wines. The Gevrey-Chambertin En Motrot Monopole is a single-vineyard wine from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, located in the Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy, France. The vineyard is exclusively owned by Domaine Denis Mortet and is characterized by its rocky soil and southern exposure. The winemaking process involves natural fermentation with indigenous yeast, aging in French oak barrels for 18-20 months, and minimal intervention to preserve the natural characteristics of the grapes. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Pinot Noir, with notes of red and black fruit, earthy undertones, and elegant tannins.
