Arnaud Mortet Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

Arnaud Mortet Mazoyères-Chambertin comes from the lower part of the vineyard, on the Morey boundary, from 0.45 hectares of forty-five-year-old vines.

Mazoyères-Chambertin is the southern half of the Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru and may legally be sold under either name, though growers who bottle it separately generally argue that it is the firmer and more mineral of the two. It runs down the slope towards the Morey-Saint-Denis border on soils that grow deeper and more clay-rich as they descend. Arnaud Mortet’s parcel is in Mazoyères dessous, the lower section, on heavier clay than his Charmes higher up, and the vines average forty-five years. Seventy per cent of the fruit was hand-destemmed and the wine was raised in half new oak. The result is the more refined and tightly drawn of the two Grands Crus from this cellar, and a Gevrey that shows the finesse of the Morey side of the boundary.

Best given eight years and capable of twenty-five. Serve at 16-18°C with roast beef, venison or aged hard cheese.
