  Clean and pure Gevrey on the nose with moderate finish. Very good for a village wine. At a good drinking window now.

  Medium cherry red. Very spicy in the nose, earthy, peppery, quite a lot of wood, but of the good kind. Fine fruit on its way to secondary aromas. Very fragrant and noble. In the mouth, this continues, this has good grip, it's dense, concentrated, deeply mineralic, but always flows in an understated way. A wonderful village Gevery that can still use some cellar time, but already drinks well now.

  Opened, not decanted, for about 7 hours. This is an outstanding Village level Gevrey that is drinking beautifully today. Deep, rich, dark fruit and sous bois with a firm minerality at its core, all showing exemplary depth and complexity for its level. The typical Mortet sauvage characteristic was dominant and makes this a wine not for the faint of heart. This bottle was excellent!

  A fairly sauvage nose with aromas of dark fruit, sous bois, some black peppery notes and some subtle hints of caramel. While tasting, I was surprised at what a big difference a year made in the development of this wine. Today, tasting almost immediately after double decanting, this bottle was displaying softer, richer dark pinot fruit than last year, with earth, sous bois and black pepper. There's a mildly acidic, but still mouthwatering spine of acidity that shows its face right before the med length finish. While still rustic and fairly masculine, this has softened considerably and is just delightful today and, in my opinion, is drinking well above its level.

  There was abit of a reductive note to the nose on opening that resolved with several hours of air, and this bottle needed every bit of three hours in the decanter to fully blossom. Rustic dark fruit with a sort of sweet pungency and deep earthy undertones with ripe, slighty chalky tannins on the finish. This is a rich, masculine wine with more depth and complexity than I would normally expect from a villages level red burgundy. Excellent and drinking perfectly today.
