The 2023 Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de Très Vieilles Vignes is a testament to the exceptional winemaking of Arnaud Mortet, widely regarded as one of Burgundy's superstars. This red Burgundy is crafted from a blend of three parcels with exceptionally old vines, ranging from 80 to over 100 years old. The 2023 vintage benefited from favorable climatic conditions, ensuring optimal ripeness while maintaining freshness, resulting in good concentration and a harmonious structure. 【 Sourced from 80-100+ year old vines across three distinct parcels, yielding remarkable concentration and complexity. 】 Tasting notes highlight a very floral bouquet with wilted rose petals infusing vivacious red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, silky texture, attributed to the careful removal of pedicels during winemaking. Expect notes of fresh blackberry and fine licorice melting into a delicate texture, enhanced by a pure mineral touch, leading to a slender finish with elegant tension. Dark cherries and wild berries unfold with polished tannins and a quiet, simmering intensity, showcasing classic Gevrey character with Mortet's unmistakable precision. Reviewers also note a refined nose, rich red fruit (not black), and a cherry finish, with oak subtly integrated. Food Pairing: This powerful yet elegant Gevrey-Chambertin pairs wonderfully with rich game dishes such as duck, goose, and other game birds. It would also be excellent with roasted red meats and mushroom-based dishes. Fit to Event: This wine is built for cellaring, with a recommended drinking window from 2029-2035. Its concentration and structure suggest it will evolve beautifully over time, making it an excellent choice for a long-term investment or a special occasion in the future that calls for a truly profound and age-worthy Burgundy.
