A blend of five Gevrey parcels from Domaine Denis Mortet, showing red and dark fruits, spice and minerality.
The Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs 2023 from Domaine Denis Mortet is the domaine's signature village cuvée and most emblematic wine, a unique blend whose complex recipe has belonged solely to the Mortet family, generation after generation. With this wine, Domaine Denis Mortet achieves the remarkable feat of expressing the complexity of Gevrey's terroirs in all their diversity within a single bottle. A village Gevrey-Chambertin of depth and nobility that far exceeds its rank, conceived as a precise and faithful portrait of the appellation in all its geological complexity.
The terroir and five parcels
Mes Cinq Terroirs expresses the quintessence of Gevrey's finest plots. The lieux-dits Les Motrot, En Champ, Combe du Dessus, Au Vellé and En Derée offer impressive soil diversity, limestone, volcanic soils, clay-limestone gravel, gravels and marls. The total area of all parcels combined is less than one hectare. This concentration of distinct terroirs within such a restricted area is precisely what gives this cuvée its singularity and richness, each lieu-dit contributing precisely and irreplaceably, Les Motrot bringing structure and depth from limestone soils, En Champ freshness and minerality from clay-limestone gravels, Combe du Dessus elegance and finesse from marls, Au Vellé tension and vivacity from volcanic soils, En Derée roundness and generosity from gravels. Only the Mortet family knows the complexity of assembling these carefully chosen great terroirs. Produced since 2013, Mes Cinq Terroirs blends grapes from five different terroirs on the appellation's northern slope. The vines are honourably aged between 60 and 70 years, carefully tended by the domaine, trained in simple Guyot with neither chemical fertilisers nor herbicides. Vinification uses 30 per cent whole bunches, with 18 months ageing in barrel, 30 per cent new oak. For the 2023 vintage, the wine is ready from 2027, reaching its peak between 2029 and 2038.
Tasting profile
This Gevrey-Chambertin offers an intense nose of forest floor, ripe dark fruits and subtle oak. The palate is smooth and velvety, carried by black cherry aromas, with expressive notes of small red fruits, violet and sweet spice. On the palate, fine amplitude, supple tannins and pleasant freshness. Vinification with 30 per cent whole bunches brings additional floral and spicy notes that enrich the nose with precious complexity and freshness. On the palate, the diversity of five terroirs translates into matter of remarkable amplitude and depth, supported by silky fine tannins and well-integrated acidity that give the wine its characteristic tension and length. The finish is long, spicy and mineral, with that layered complexity found only in wines from such a diverse mosaic of soils. A wine built for ten to fifteen years' ageing minimum.
The domaine
Born in 1991 from the division of Charles Mortet's land, father of Denis, Domaine Denis Mortet today covers all appellations in Gevrey-Chambertin with annual production of 55,000 bottles. The vines are old, the terroir distinctly typed, yields ruthlessly controlled and berries meticulously sorted twice over, all for results of exceptional consistency. Denis Mortet, who died prematurely in 2006, imposed a revolutionary style in the 1990s. His son Arnaud accepted the ambitious mission of succeeding his father. A brilliant winemaker, he has evolved the wines through his personal style, producing wines slightly less concentrated but with greater finesse. He speaks not of extraction but of infusion to describe one of the vinification methods he favours.
Food pairing
This Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs pairs beautifully with beef fillet with wild mushrooms, rack of lamb with Provençal herbs, roasted Bresse chicken with morels, hare with lentils or game birds such as partridge with cabbage. It will also harmonise well with aged soft paste cheeses such as Époisses, Soumaintrain or Cîteaux. One hour of decanting is essential in its youth. Served between 16 and 17°C, it will progressively reveal all the complexity, depth and nobility of a Gevrey-Chambertin whose secret recipe has belonged to the Mortet family for three generations.
