Tasting notes
Offering up a aromas sweet berry fruit, plums, dark chocolate and a generous application of new oak, the 2003 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a generous core of ripe fruit, succulent acids and a long, vanillin-inflected finish. This is one of the late Denis Mortet's wines that seems unlikely ever to fully digest its oak, but it remains a delicious drink.

(14.5%) Ruby-red. Roasted black fruits and a whiff of game on the nose. Rich, sweet, large-scaled and rather powerful, but finer than the Velle despite its high alcohol. More floral flavors of blackberry, violet, spices and bitter chocolate. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and impressive breadth.
About the producer
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
