Noticeable improvement over the 2011 tasting. Double-decanted. Lovely medium-red color. Aromatics gorgeous throughout -- fruit and flowers. Starts out a bit tight on the palate, with a pronounced tannic bite on the finish. Fleshes out over the course of the bottle. Nice mouthfeel, decent balance; tannins round out with air. A little Gevrey earthiness. Good wine. Probably better still 2014+.

Second favourite wine on show today. Really approachable. Beautiful nose. Very fragrant and elegant. Perfumed.
A real elegance to the wine. Certainly benefitting from the reduced amount of oak now being used. Interestingly, some stems were added back in for fermentation in 2009 vintage.

Dark and concentrated red colour, almost opaque in the middle of the glass. Nose is open with medium intensity, initially showing some floral and sweet berry fruits, with a more medicinal tone after an hour or so in the glass. Medium bodied. The palate has an approachable and luscious fruity flavour. Mouth-watering, it entices me to sip more. Tannins seem to have softened and are fully integrated leaving a well rounded wine. The finish is fairly short. This is very enjoyable and drinking well now.

A bit tight at first, with notes of cured meats and black cherry. Opened over the course of an hour to a rich mouthful...hints of bacon and black/red currants around a core of black cherry fruit, lovely balance, filled out completely with medium plus finish. Delightful.

A decent showing with good ripeness and dissolved tannins but got obliterated by the other wines that evening. The person who brought this to this Grand and 1er Cru dinner should have been less stingy.

Celebration for Celine at Tenuta/P90: Shared by friends from another table. Plush and spicy, thought this was more Vosne than Gevrey. Left this in a glass and it improved markedly with air as the concentration from old vines came through. Hedonistic, in an old-school manner. Still very fresh and so sturdily built, has a long way to go.

Nose - elegant toasty nose but with a whiff of burnt tire
Mouth - I can see what this wine was to become - a mid bodied silky fruity wine but unfortunately it is marred by a burnt rubber flavor which was same in the prior 2 bottles. This noxious essence is only barely present in this wine, but its enough to ruin what should be an elegant beauty. I find the 95 and 96 mortet bottlings to be much more badly spoiled. I have tasted this around to various friends and industry professionals and get a wide variety of opinions such as (1) poorly stored (2) barrel taint but not corked (3) awful dunno why and (4) just the funk you might get out of burgundy. I will have to explore the issue further and it's a shame as a 97 mortet champeaux is one of the best burgs I have ever had, but until deemed otherwise I will have to say avoid 1995-8 Mortet wines.

il goutait vraiment bien, je l'attendais pas a ce niveau (ayant déjà été déçu), avec un nez splendide et subtil de Pinot floral et délicatement fruité, tout en finesse, et surtout sans trace de bois. Charmeur, très Côtes de Nuits donc, il évoque le style vendange entière (la rose, la fraicheur aromatique, le domaine aurait commencé cette approche en 2010), puis en bouche une légèreté, une fluidité étonnantes; il manque de corps, de milieu de bouche, pourtant les tanins sont un rien rustiques (la vendange entière encore ? un boisé excessif au depart?).
L'aération n'a rien arrangé, il s'est plutot délité lentement.
Cependant, j'ai vraiment apprécié sa qualité aromatique, son profil svelte et acidulé (on pense à la rhubarbe matinée de fraise), sa digestibilité de pinot fin!
A boire (il est temps!).

Coming along nicely following the slightly mute bottle 3 years ago. Now showing notes of grilled bacon which underpin the delicious red fruits and lovely sweet oak whilst fine tannins cosset the palate in a most charming way. Texturally subtle and understated with a deft silkiness on the finish.

#3 of 6. 2yrs+ since my last,this is still open & pleasing. Slow ox in Burg glasses & btl for 2 hrs prior to diner. A youthful semi translucent magenta red / purple color. Berries, spice & sous bois on the nose. Striking fruit purity w/ excellent balance,concentration & ler Cru depth.Vineyard fresh flavors of raspberry, cherry, spice, mineral & earthy undertones. Lifted, structured but no sharp edges. A 2015 weightless sense of richness. Lovely Gevrey in the making. Delighted to own 3 more. A tribute to how fascinating village level Gevrey Chambertin can be in the right hands. Wanted to open something I would personally dig w/o going too high bro with my family on my 66th Bday in a terrific Smoky Mts cabin tonight. A nice cap on a lovely hike up Mt LeConte today.

Popped and tasted about 3 hours before I was planning on drinking it. It was super tight and I was initially a bit dissapointed with the first pour. I decanted it and took it back to the cellar for a few more hours. After that I poured it back into the bottle and took to a friends house for dinner. This was possibly the biggest transformation from decanting i've ever experienced. Surprisingly approachable, and just super tasting and brimming with life and bright fruit. Totally balanced, and has just enough tannins to give it a long and fruitful life.

Totally agree with two prior reviewers. This definitely punches above its weight, with a great red fruit nose, broad and deep on the palate with good spice. Loses nothing in the mid range and has a great finish.

Had a bottle of this just to try last night, and went out and bought the remaining 11 bottles of the case today. Worth seeking out.

Thanksgiving 2023 (Dogwood Grove/Rock Spring, Virginia): This wine blew everyone away and easily won WOTN. Silky mouthfeel, a harmonious palate with complex red fruit and earthy notes (raspberry, rose petal, mushroom, toasted oak) and a long finish for a fairly gentle wine. Seemed to be in a perfect drinking window.

OK, listen. I'm not a great Burgundy drinker. I'm trying to be. Mostly I'm terrified of opening Burgundy wines too early or too late. I've got the drill down on every other varietal and every other region, but Burgundy remains robed in when-to-open mystery for me.

But 2005 - ten years past vintage date - seemed safe for a 1er cru from this vintage. We popped and poured this wine to drink during the first Presidential debate of the Clinton/Trump cycle. My kids were eating buttered popcorn on the couch next to me, and the aromatics of this wine never quite overcame the fake-butter smell. I'm sure the aromatics were there, but they weren't overpoweringly strong.

The palate, though, is where this wine paid off. There's a lot of stuffing to this wine. But it's not cooked fruit stuffing - Meadows would call it "dry extract," or "sap" I think. If you had this much oomph in a new world Pinot, there would be a lot more alcohol.

The palate just kept shifting around on me; all night the palate moved, and every time it was a different form of beautiful. Serious minerality on the back end was a common theme. It was drinking handsomely within a few minutes of being opened and held up for the two and a half hours that we drank through it.

That palate movement indicated to me that the wine clearly isn't all the way mature, but it's delightful where it is today. It's serious and charming with great lift and vivacity. I've been chasing the Burgundy dream for years; I've had lots of Gevreys and lots of other villages and I know that the density and sap of this wine pleases me in a way that many red burgs do not.

This is well worth opening today for a special occasion even if you only have one bottle. I would guess that this has "upside" but this really did strike me as special last night.

Final assessment: this is the kind of wine that makes my jaded wine wife arch her eyebrows and say "what is *this?*"

Burgs 02, 03 and 05: Mine and the groups WOTN. Of course, one always is a bit sad to drink these wines. Denis is missed, but he was a genius. Ruby in color. The nose has cherries, cherry powder and a slight funk. This is a big wine with bold fruit. Lots of complex cherries and layering. Slightly tart cherries on the finish. This is not a 1er Cru, and perhaps it drinks a bit earlier, but I think this has a long life ahead.

Pop and pour, initially warm animal notes on the nose. Some lavender and leather. Palate is dominated by warm fruit, prominent tartness and a short watery finish. This needs time.

Decanted for an hour in 17 degrees celcius. After that, the wine opens up a bit, into a quite austere masculine tannin-rich example of Burgundy. A bit unyielding and not very lovable. Dark ripe fruit, hibiscus and leather. Nothing really green, but a clear vintage stamp all over this wine. A bit unbalanced. It stays the same all through the evening until the penultimate glass.

Suddenly there is something there. A more deep, brooding and accessable notion. Did I really drink almost the whole bottle before the wine showed itself? Suddenly I have a cooler fruit structure, even if the decanter has been standing in room temperature for the last 20 minutes. The structure softens, and the wine becomes more elegant and less angular. Cold soft fruit fills the palate instead of fighting it as it has the last 2-3 hours.

Suddenly this is joyful and a real treat! What happened? The nose is the same. Hibiscus and warm spicy notes. Need to open another bottle soon because this one made no sense... right now I’m scoring 90-91 points. Earlier this was going in the direction of 87. Weird!

Une extraction suave, typique de Mortet, et à la longueur moyenne.
Meilleur que bien des premiers crus.

- Greenish color with slow forming legs and aromas of peach and cut green grass. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of sherry, cut green grass and mousey with a light/medium body. Linear texture with a medium finish - Attractive nose of peach and grass. Classy. Quite slim and sharp, but a disturbing oxydative touch on the mouth.

Surprisingly good! Great lemons, toast and minerals in the nose. In the mouth it was rich enough to drink with a white fish with sauce. Nice melons and toast. I wonder where the grapes came from? :-)

Dekantert 1 t. Det lille fatpreget som var der for 3 år siden er nå borte. Fioler, kirsebær og bringebær. Ren og presis rødfrukt, balanserende syre som slett ikke er vanlig på lavere nivå gitt årgangen. Silketanniner. Dag 2: mer kirsebær og en spicy tone. Ikke kollaps etter 24 t, men anbefaler likevel og drikke nå.

a lot of oak on opening but opened up with air. Dark and polished smoky cherries, very long. A couple years of further ageing wouldn't hurt.
