🏰news | features + short tasting note 【The 2014 Denis Mortet Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is a powerful and elegant Burgundy Pinot Noir, showcasing a refined expression of dark berries, earthy minerality, and subtle spices from a "good vintage," now entering its prime drinking window.】 Domaine Denis Mortet, now led by Arnaud Mortet, has evolved towards a more refined and fresh style, with gentler extraction and less new oak, while maintaining the estate's reputation for excellence in Gevrey-Chambertin. The 2014 Burgundy vintage, despite a challenging start, yielded "very pleasing reds" with good freshness and structure. This Grand Cru presents a deep ruby-red color, offering a seductive bouquet of plush redcurrant, wild strawberry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by notes of earth, game, licorice, menthol, and subtle floral hints. The palate is full-bodied, sleekly muscular, and concentrated, with fine-grained, firm yet balanced tannins, leading to a long, minerally, and elegant finish. It is drinking beautifully now and is expected to remain at its peak for the next decade. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This powerful Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is an exceptional match for rich and complex dishes.
