Collection: The 2023 Mortet Collection

Gevrey-Chambertin has produced great Burgundy for centuries, but few names have defined its modern era as completely as Mortet. Denis Mortet built a legendary domaine from 4.5 hectares in 1991 to one of the Côte de Nuits' most sought-after addresses, shaped by mentorships with Henri Jayer and Lalou Bize-Leroy. When he died in 2006, his son Arnaud was 24 and inherited not just the vines but a philosophy.

What Arnaud has done since is quieter, harder to quantify, and more interesting. He has made the wines more precise, more transparent, and more faithful to their terroir, while launching his own label in 2016 using the same team, the same winery, and the same standards.

The 2023 vintage rewards those paying attention. The wines are generous and accessible on release, with warm, ripe fruit, lifted aromatics and polished tannins, but with a thread of natural Côte de Nuits acidity running through every wine that signals something worth keeping. Arnaud green-harvested, managed his yields carefully and brought in 48 hl/ha at exactly the ripeness he was looking for. The critics agreed, with 97 points awarded to the Chambertin and Mazis-Chambertin from the family domaine, and 96 and 97 across the Grand Crus from his own label.
