Description

Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Denis Mortet is a family-owned estate run by Laurence Mortet and her two children, Clémence and Arnaud. The Domaine was originally founded in 1956 by Charles Mortet with just a single hectare of vines to his name. This release comes from the prestigious Grand Cru Chambertin, where Mortet owns a 0.15-hectare parcel of 60-year-old vines. 1991 was overall a successful vintage which gave wines of strength, depth and considerable ageing potential.
