2015 Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru, Champonnet Domaine Denis Mortet (6 x Bottle)
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnet is completely de-stemmed and matured in 50% new oak. It has an extremely pure and seductive bouquet with vivid morello cherry and wild strawberry aromas struck through with superb mineralité. The palate has veins of blood orange infusing the vibrant, shimmering red fruit, so attractive that you almost miss the superb structure and focus. Nothing here is out of place, everything harmonious. Like clockwork...

Vinous
(a new cuvée as of 2014; these old vines previously went into Mortet’s premier cru blend; totally destemmed; aged in 40% new oak): Bright, dark red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of black raspberry and chocolate. Sweet and creamy on the palate but framed by nicely integrated acidity. Substantial tannins and a stronger new-oak influence make this a bit less harmonious in the early going than the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru but this wine also offers excellent potential.
