Note di degustazione
Medium red. Expressive perfume of small wild red berries, smoke and minerals. Silky on entry, then tight in the middle, with a youthfully medicinal quality to the flavors of cherry, berries and crushed stone. Really builds and broadens toward the back end, finishing chewy and sappy, with palate-saturating ripe tannins and an impression of salty minerality. Arnaud Mortet believes the 2010s here have more potential than the 2005s, as he is doing a softer extraction nowadays.

The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru is all about deep sensuality and plushness in the fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, flowers, licorice and spices are woven together beautifully in this bright, highly expressive Gevrey. The 1er Cru has more than enough stuffing to stand up to the new oak, which is 60-65% in this vintage, lower than it has been in the past. The 1er Cru is made from parcels in Petite Chapelle, Cherbaudes, Bel Air and Champonnets, each of which is too small to bottle separately. Tasted from tank.
(from Petite Chapelle, Cherbaudes, Belair and Chaponnets; 70% new oak, the lowest percentage to date for this cuvee ): Bright red. Ripe aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, mocha, flowers and spicy oak, lifted by fresh minerality. Juicy, spicy and expressive, with terrific energy and lift to the flavors of raspberry, flowers and crushed stone. Strong but integrated acidity draws out the finish of this very young wine. Finishes long and savory, with a subtle sweetness. Should be superb with five years in the cellar.

Arnaud Mortet is focused on making elegant, refined wines. In 2010 he sought to achieve that through gentle extraction and less use of new oak barrels, which is broadly the direction his winemaking is headed, notwithstanding the many particulars that present themselves each year. Mortet planned to age the 2010s fifteen months in barrel, then rack the wines into steel. Yields are of course down across the board, but that won’t be much of a surprise to readers given the vintage. Overall, the Mortet 2010s are striking for their beauty and transparency. The 2009 also showed brilliantly from bottle. I will report on those wines in the April issue. Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
