DOMAINE DENIS MORTET GEVREY CHAMBERTIN 1ER CRU 'BLEND' 2008, 750ml (Bottle)
- As noted below by David Schildknecht, Arnaud's Gevrey 1er Cru blend comes from three well-situated vineyards, all abutting grand cru sites, with an average age of 60 years. The 2008 is truly superb, again at once pure and intense: a wine that easily lives up to its 1er Cru standing. Truly superb.
- Originating in Bel Air, Chaponnieres Cherbaudes, and Petite Chapelle, Mortet's 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru features fresh blueberry, purple plum, and blackberry with bittersweet herbal pungency and a salinity and carnal savor that could almost have been borrowed from Chablis.
- Indeed the same could practically be said about the wines strikingly bracing, tart-edged and refreshing sense of fruit acidity. Peat-like smokiness, chalk, and hints of carob bean lend a dark dimension to this exhilaratingly long-finishing cuvee that should be worth following for at least a dozen years.
