2014 Gevrey-Chambertin, Mes Cinq Terroirs, Domaine Denis Mortet (6 x Bottle)
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs is a blend of all Arnaud's Gevrey-Chambertin holdings. His late father Denis bottled them separately until 2004 and 2005 when he elected to blend them together -- with Arnaud following in his path, correctly in my humble opinion. Matured in 30% to 35% new oak, it has a brisk, stony red berry bouquet with attractive undergrowth scents percolating through. Very natural. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp structure, almost chalky tannin, very fine acidity, and a little compact towards the finish but it maintains precision from start to finish. This is an excellent Gevrey that comes highly recommended.

Vinous
(30% new oak; from five climats ranging from the foot of the hillside to high on the slope): Healthy deep red. Lovely precision to the aromas of black raspberry, minerals, licorice and wild herbs. A wine of moderate flesh, but the juicy flavors of dark berries and spices convey a satisfying combination of density and penetration. Very firm, flavorful, honest village wine with noteworthy length and a light touch. And, as in past years, a very successful blend of disparate sites.

Vinous
Healthy medium red. Musky aromas of black cherry, smoke, mocha and sweet oak. A tightly coiled wine of moderate flesh, this village bottling offers nicely delineated flavors of dark berries, licorice, bitter chocolate and earth complicated by a saline minerality that no doubt comes from the higher-altitude parcels that go into the blend. This very successful village wine should maintain its energy.
