93-96ptsJasper Morris, Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru 2018
Having worked in his father’s vineyard since 1991, Denis Mortet set up his domaine under his own name and quickly made a name for himself as he was a perfectionist who put a lot of care and effort from vines to wines. The wines he produced were some of the most charming and elegant styles in Gevrey-Chambertin. Sadly, his life ended short in January 2006 and the domaine is currently managed by his son Arnaud who has brought the domaine into a new era. Denis Mortet made his last vintage in 2005 and nowadays mature Denis Mortet is nearly impossible to find, and many aficionados who are lucky enough to try his wines have said they are always remarkable and unique. The beauty and elegance are simply too hard to find from other names in Gevrey-Chambertin.

93-96pts Jasper Morris
Entirely destemmed in contrast to the Arnaud Mortet label of Lavaux. 70% new wood. A lively glowing purple with a very exuberant nose. Perfume and some fresh oak, typical of the cooler sites which really thrive in 2018. Perfect fruit weight behind, deep red raspberry with a long sweet follow through.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is elegant and perfumed this year, bursting with aromas of peonies, orange rind, wild berries and cassis. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and fine-boned, less lavishly textural and more introverted than the Champeaux this year, structured around supple, powdery tannins and succulent acids.
