Domaine Denis Mortet - Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs 2021 (750ml)

    
Burghound 89-92 points
"A more restrained if less elegant nose is comprised by notes of herbal tea, red and dark cherry and plenty of earth character along with a hint of the sauvage. The solidly concentrated and highly energetic middleweight flavors possess a positively gorgeous texture that carries over to the firm, youthfully austere and beautifully long finish. This stony and overtly powerful Gevrey villages will definitely need at least some forbearance. Recommended."

Vinous 92-94 points
"The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs comes from parcels in the north of the appellation with 30% whole bunches. Very impressive intensity on the nose, this is well-defined, crushed stone and citrus scents, the former becoming more prominent with time. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins, pixelated in definition, not powerful but tensile on the steely finish. Excellent."

"One third whole bunch vinification and 10-15% new wood. The grapes come from behind the cuverie through to Brochon. Usually the weightiest wines of Gevrey come from this sector. This starts well with a plump fruit but just a little drier than expected on the palate. The elements will all come together and then you have the choice of this more in your face Gevrey or the elegance of Ma Cuvée (under the Arnaud Mortet label). Tiny yields here - maybe the hail made a difference as it came just a week before the flowering."
