Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvee 2022

Where Domaine Denis Mortet’s Les Cinq Terroirs comes from the Brochon side of the village, the parcels for Ma Cuvée lie south of Gevrey near several Premier and Grand Crus. Most lie just east of the Combe de Lavaux. Covering just over two hectares, the vineyards are Les Epointures, La Justice, Champs-Chenys, Les Champerriers, En Jouise, Clos de l’Arche and Les Platières. The latter vineyard features 70-year-old vines on gravel and limestone. This wine is mostly destemmed using the new state-of-the-art SOCMA Cube destemmer that leaves the berries whole without the pedicel. There were, however, 30% whole bunches used and just a quarter new oak. 

“Crimson ruby colour, a stricter nose, more strawberry fruit. Pretty enough, less succulent than Mes Cinq Terroirs (Denis Mortet label), but attractive and quite persistent. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Nov 2023.” 90-93 points Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy 

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvée bursts with aromas of sweet cherries, red berries, plums and potpourri, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and charming palate that's lively, fine-boned and pure. As usual, this cuvée derives from the south of the appellation, in contrast to the more structured "Cinq Terroirs" bottling Mortet produces for the family domaine." 89-91 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
