Arnaud Mortet
2018Gevrey-ChambertinVillages Red barrel
Score: 88-91
Tasted: Jan 10, 2020
Drink: 2026+
Issue: 77
Note: from Jouises, Epointures, Aux Echézeaux, La Justice, Les Platières, Combe du Dessus, and En Champ
Producer note: As I explained last year, this is a new label if not exactly a new domaine as it evolved from Arnaud Mortet having taken over another 4 ha of vines from a vigneron that was retiring. The parcels included a number of villages level vineyards as well as .45 ha in Mazoyères, .27 ha in Charmes-Chambertin plus a parcel in the 1er La Perrière. See the write-up for Domaine Denis Mortet for more information on Arnaud Mortet’s views on the 2018 vintage.
Tasting note: A subtle hint of wood easily allows the super-fresh nose that displays notes of red and dark currant laced with hints of earth and humus. There is good richness to the caressing, round and quite intense middle weight flavors that culminate in a dusty and youthfully austere finale. Good stuff for its level and worth checking out.
