Domaine Thierry Mortet : Bourgogne "Les Terroirs de Daix" 2023

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Bourgogne "Les Terroirs de Daix" 2023 from Domaine Thierry Mortet

Tasting

Colour

The wine reveals a pale, luminous colour, typical of a young Chardonnay raised with restraint.

Nose

The nose is subtly almondy, carried by notes of stone fruit and citrus, in a discreet and delicate register.

Palate

The palate seduces with its freshness, lengthened by a salinity characteristic of the Daix terroir and supported by discreet oak. A touch of apricot completes this light, vibrant ensemble.

Food and Wine Pairing

This white Burgundy is an ideal companion for fish, whether a pan-seared cod loin, a trout meunière, red mullet fillets or mackerel grilled with mustard. It also pairs beautifully with white meats in sauce, such as a turkey escalope in cream sauce, a pork tenderloin or a rack of veal. Finally, it is perfectly at home alongside soft-rind cheeses or fresh goat's cheeses.

Serving and Cellaring

The Bourgogne "Les Terroirs de Daix" 2023 is best served chilled, with no need for decanting. It is best enjoyed within the first few years following the vintage.

The Estate

Founded in 1992 in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Thierry Mortet is now run by Thierry Mortet, joined by his daughter Lise. The estate cultivates a certified organic vineyard spread across several communes of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Dijon, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Couchey and Daix. Committed to precise viticulture that respects the terroirs, Domaine Thierry Mortet excels as much in the great appellations of the Côte de Nuits as in the emerging terroirs of the Côte de Dijon.

The Vineyard

This white Burgundy wine comes from parcels located in the commune of Daix, on the Côte de Dijon. The vines are planted on clay-limestone and limestone soils, and the entire vineyard dedicated to this cuvée is farmed using certified organic methods.

The Vintage

The 2023 vintage allowed for balanced ripeness of the Chardonnay on the Côte de Dijon, without excessive heat, yielding healthy grapes ideally suited to producing a light, fresh wine with moderate acidity.

Vinification and Ageing

The Bourgogne "Les Terroirs de Daix" 2023 is fermented in tank, without lees stirring, in order to favour the expression of fruit over richness. Ageing continues mainly in old oak barrels, complemented by tank ageing, before bottling.
