DENIS MORTET GEVREY CHAMBERTIN 1ER CRU LES CHAMPEAUX 2018

The soils have been turned using a horse-drawn plough for ten years or so and this gives superb results: an even more expressive wine, longer on the palate. The colour is black and intense. Tannins envelop the palate, the finish ends on flavours of fresh berries. It is a full wine from the first taste to the finish. A wine structured for ageing.

"4 different plots, all old vines between 60 to 80 years, worked by hand and by horse. The two bigger plots are each in their own clos with 20cm earth while the two smaller plots are lower down with a touch more soil. Wood reduction, will be racked soon, nothing has been so far. Bottle April. A very elegant wine beneath, with a good thread of acidity balancing the ripe dark fruit. Very extensive finish. Lovely." Jasper Morris
