Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques Domaine Mortet Denis - Magnum 1,5L, 2023

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques from Domaine Denis Mortet is a compelling expression of one of Burgundy’s most prized Premier Cru sites, offered here in magnum format for slower, more graceful aging. Sourced from a vineyard known for combining power with refinement, it reflects the elegant, terroir-driven style that has made Domaine Mortet a benchmark in Gevrey-Chambertin.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, luminous ruby color with the concentration and clarity typical of top-tier Gevrey-Chambertin. The nose is likely to show fragrant red and black cherries, wild berries, rose petal, spice, and subtle mineral undertones, with a fine oak frame rather than overt woodiness. On the palate, Lavaux Saint-Jacques often balances ripe fruit with impressive tension, offering layered notes of dark cherry, plum, earthy forest floor, and a savory, saline edge. The texture is refined yet structured, with polished tannins and a long finish that suggests excellent aging potential; in magnum, it should evolve especially beautifully over many years.

Production
This Premier Cru comes from Lavaux Saint-Jacques, one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most esteemed vineyards, where limestone-rich soils and a cool, well-exposed site help produce wines of depth, precision, and longevity. Domaine Denis Mortet is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful harvesting to preserve the purity of the fruit. Vinification is typically carried out with an emphasis on gentle extraction and thoughtful élevage in oak, allowing the site’s character to remain the focus.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, game bird, grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, and mushroom-based dishes, as well as truffled risotto or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 1–2 hours if drinking young; older bottles may only need a short aeration to open up.
