Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2009 Magnum

Denis Mortet’s Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2009 in magnum format captures everything that makes great Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir so compelling: precision, perfume, and depth wrapped in a beautifully balanced frame. Sourced from old vines in one of Burgundy’s most respected villages, it combines classic Gevrey structure with the finesse and energy of an exceptional vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is a refined, beautifully composed red with a vivid ruby core and the kind of clarity that hints at both freshness and concentration. The bouquet is elegant and lifted, showing layered red and dark berry fruit, floral perfume, and a subtle mineral edge, all carried by a sense of finesse rather than power. On the palate, the wine is sleek and focused, with vibrant fruit, fine-grained tannins, and excellent balance. The 2009 vintage brings warmth and generosity, while the old vines add depth and dimension. It already shows impressive harmony, but the structure and concentration suggest it can continue to develop gracefully with further bottle age.

Production
This Gevrey-Chambertin comes from old vines, giving the wine added concentration and complexity. Denis Mortet’s approach emphasizes finesse over extraction, with a short cold maceration, around three weeks of fermentation, and very light extraction, while using lower levels of new oak than in the past. The result is a wine that reflects both the character of Gevrey-Chambertin’s terroir and a modern, more restrained winemaking style.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roast duck, game birds, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, or lamb with herbs. Serve at 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if opening young, especially in magnum, to let the perfume and detail open fully.

Producer
Denis Mortet is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most admired names, known for producing expressive, terroir-driven Burgundy with remarkable purity and refinement. The domaine has built a strong reputation in the region for combining old-vine fruit with meticulous cellar work, and under Arnaud Mortet’s guidance the style has become even more focused and elegant. The estate remains highly respected for wines that consistently rank among the village’s most compelling bottlings.
