Where Domaine Denis Mortet’s Les Cinq Terroirs comes from the Brochon side of the village, the parcels for Ma Cuvée lie south of Gevrey near several Premier and Grand Crus. Most lie just east of the Combe de Lavaux. Covering just over two hectares, the vineyards are Les Epointures, La Justice, Champs-Chenys, Les Champerriers, En Jouise, Clos de l’Arche and Les Platières. The latter vineyard features 70-year-old vines on gravel and limestone. This wine is mostly destemmed using the new state-of-the-art SOCMA Cube destemmer that leaves the berries whole without the pedicel. There were, however, 40% whole bunches used and just under a quarter new oak.

Reviews

“The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvée comes from purchased fruit, although Mortet stresses that he works the vineyard. The 2023 used one-third whole bunch and presents a lovely bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit and hints of wilted rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, showing a little dark chocolate toward the finish. Smooth and quite seductive, this will drink well for the next decade.”
89-91 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvée is pure and demonstrative, offering up aromas of orange oil, petals and raspberries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate. Readers may remember that its suave style reflects its origins in the southern part of the appellation, as opposed to the more robust wines from the northern part of Gevrey that go into Mortet's Cinq Terroirs bottling for the family domaine.”
89-91 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“From the southern part of Gevrey. 40% whole bunch vinification, and 15-20% new wood. Mid crimson ruby. Generous strawberry fruit up front, darker behind on the palate, fine acidity, plenty of energy all the way through to the finish. This is a lovely example. Drink from 2028-2033.”
