Domaine Thierry Mortet : Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023 from Domaine Thierry Mortet

Tasting

Colour

This wine reveals a deep, brilliant ruby colour, showing fine concentration while retaining the transparency characteristic of Pinot Noir.

Nose

The nose is intense and complex, dominated by ripe dark fruit aromas such as blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry and plum. A floral touch brings freshness to the whole, while subtle spicy and lightly oaky notes complete the aromatic bouquet.

Palate

On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and dense, carried by a generous texture typical of the appellation. The tannins, firmly present, show lovely ripeness and are lifted by delicate peppery notes. The long, persistent finish reveals aromas of vanilla and sweet spices that soften a tannic structure still slightly marked at the end of the palate.

Food and Wine Pairing

This Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023 is an ideal match for red meats and game, whether grilled or roasted. It also pairs very well with young duckling or small feathered game, as well as with mature cheeses.

Serving and Cellaring

We recommend serving this Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023 at a temperature between 14 and 16°C. This wine can be enjoyed now, but ideally between approximately 2029 and 2035, a period during which it should reveal its full complexity.

A Gevrey-Chambertin Village with Burgundian Precision

The Estate

Domaine Thierry Mortet, founded in 1992 in Gevrey-Chambertin in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, emerged from the split of the former family estate Charles Mortet et Fils. Now run by Thierry Mortet, owner and winemaker, the estate extends over approximately 8.5 hectares, the majority of which is devoted to Pinot Noir. Converted to organic farming in 2007, the estate is distinguished by a winemaking approach that respects the terroir and relies on indigenous yeasts. Lise Mortet, Thierry's daughter, recently joined the estate, ensuring family continuity at this emblematic Burgundy property.

The Vineyard

The Gevrey-Chambertin Village cuvée comes from a blend of about twenty parcels, totalling nearly 3 hectares, located on clay-limestone soils typical of the Côte de Nuits. The vines, of varying ages, include old-vine parcels and are farmed organically, without chemical fertilisers or herbicides, fostering a natural balance between soil and vine.

Vinification and Ageing

The grapes for the Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023 are hand-harvested, then undergo a rigorous double selection, first in the vineyard and then on the sorting table. After complete destemming, a cold pre-fermentation maceration precedes an alcoholic fermentation carried out with indigenous yeasts alone. Ageing generally lasts around sixteen months, divided between tank and oak barrels, of which approximately 30% are new oak; the exact duration and the split between tank and barrels may vary from vintage to vintage.
