Teck Kong bro, discussion and update on 22 Mar 2022:
Denis Mortet died tragically in Jan 2006, taking his own life due to depression thus producing his last vintage in 2005. This 2007 is in fact from what is described as being from the uncalloused hands of his then 25 year old son, Arnaud.
It is Arnaud Mortet who continues in his fathers legacy, continuing in the journey of producing elegant wines with traditional viticulture methods.
Hong Kong, 1 Dec 2018 (755 views) | | | Tasted by ashikoh on 3/27/2018 & rated 93 points: Translucent ruby. Initially reticent on the nose but opens up to offer red fruit, freshly turned earth, and well integrated oak. Beautiful fruit and balance on the palate with fine grained tannins which still offer a bit of grip. (1900 views) | | | Tasted by ashikoh on 3/5/2018 & rated 93 points: Chris Bratcher's Birthday Tasting with Martine's Wines (Riverside Wine & Spirits): Young Arnaud Mortet took over after the tragic death of his father Denis. Everything is done by hand with no machines used and horses used to plough. He has moved to his own style with more scrupulous fruit selection, gentler macerations, and less new oak. (1988 views) | | | Tasted by ChristensenHC on 1/28/2016 & rated 90 points: A bit neutral, light and not so interesting on the nose anymore. Still have the sweetness but lack of balance and length. A little to late for this. (3493 views) | | | Tasted by alion on 8/12/2014 & rated 88 points: Nose is wonderful but given price, and the comparison to the 2010, this is disappointing - everything is watered down, and unfortunately that leaves the wine out of balance. Oak is slightly too much. The wisps of cherry and earth and exotic spice - great as they are on the nose - make the slightly bitter finish, not as long as hoped for, and the slightly thin mid palate frustrating. Want to love it. Do love what has happened here since 2006. But much better value to be had at the VV level in better vintages than here. Given price, only 88 (4433 views) | | | Tasted by bacchus of knockholt on 3/14/2013 & rated 88 points: Mid ruby, dense red and black cherry nose. The palate reflects the nose with lovely fruit of sour, dark cherries, really good. (4853 views) | | | Tasted by St Paul on 10/27/2012 & rated 93 points: This bottle delivers very well. Meaty deep fruit with minerals and stones in the layers of complexity. A bit green maybe but the Gevrey power make sure it is not too much. Good stuff. (4863 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 12/12/2010 & rated 87 points: Blind. Translucent ruby. Jammy nose, but unpleasant and green on the palate. I thought it was a 2006 Gevrey. (4513 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 4/19/2010 & rated 88 points: 2007 Red Burgundy Tasting; 4/10/2010-4/19/2010 (Tel Aviv): Dark purple-crimson. Huge jammy nose, quite slutty and modern. Big black berries, very approachable now, but I doubt that it will age well. Lacks acidity to my palate. (4556 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/13/2010 & rated 93 points: 2010 La Paulée de San Francisco - Burgundy Grand Tasting (108 TNs) (Westin St. Francis Grand Ballroom, San Francisco, California): Nice raspberry, baked cherry nose; tasty, cherry, black raspberry palate with balance, ready to drink now; medium finish (5361 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 3/10/2009 & rated 91 points: Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL): nose: deeply rich nose of red cherries, red currants, spice tones and lovely perfumed tones of dark florals. Very good depth at this young stage and it has very pretty aromatics that are working quite well too at this young stage
taste: well layered with a nice light feel of dark raspberries, rich red currant and red cherry tones, bits of spices and a touch of florals rounds it all out. Medium/high acidity accentuates it nicely
overall: surpisingly open at this young stage, but definitely has room to improve. Very lovely and pure with a nice lighter touch that makes it very enjoyable (4571 views) |

| Domaine Denis Mortet Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
