D. Mortet Chambertin Grand Cru

Size750ml Vintage2018

"The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is matured entirely in new oak with 40-50% whole-bunch fruit. It displays sublime purity on the nose, which offers layers of brambly red fruit mixed with crushed stone, pressed rose petals and freshly tilled soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a perfect line of acidity. Tighter than the Mazis-Chambertin, with a precise and quite conservative finish. This is another profound Chambertin from Arnaud Mortet." - 95-97pts Vinous ---- "The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru really merits its place in the hierarchy this year, unfurling in the glass with a complex bouquet of wild berries, plums and peonies complemented by nuances of blood orange, potpourri, cinnamon and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and beautifully complete, with a layered and concentrated core, ripe acids and powdery tannins, concluding with a long and perfumed finish. In textural finesse and incipient complexity as well as in depth and dimension, the Chambertin possesses an extra dimension." - 95-97 WA
