Arnaud Mortet - Mazoyères-Chambertin - Grand Cru - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

At the east, on limestone gravel, the 2017 red Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru offers a full-bodied, gourmet juice, indeed even more sensual than the Charmes. Refinement and richness come together in marvelous harmony, delivering seductive, voluptuous flesh balanced by structured tannins—a true delicacy of finesse.

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Part of the harvest is vinified as whole grapes, with alcoholic fermentation using only indigenous yeasts. Very moderate pumping over and punching down. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels, of which one-third are new, one-third one-wine barrels and one-third two-wine barrels.

Color:

Deep, brilliant red.

Nose:

Bouquet of red and black fruit aromas.

Palate:

Luscious and full-bodied, this sensual wine has a rich, refined, voluptuous texture. What delicacy!

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Poultry or coq au vin, veal shoulder casserole with chanterelle fricassee, matured farmhouse Saint-Nectaire cheese.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2036 and beyond for enthusiasts

Arnaud Mortet - son of the iconic and late Denis Mortet - set up his own estate with his sister Clémence in 2016, taking over 4 fabulous hectares from his father's estate, including the finest finages in the Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin grands crus. A new beginning for Arnaud and Clémence, who continue to work in parallel at the head of the Denis Mortet estate.
The children have nothing to envy their father's talent, and the same success runs in their genes; so much so that from the moment they are born, these wines set the world on fire, and lovers of great Burgundies are snapping them up.
