Tasting Notes

Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Wild musky perfume of blackberry, herbs and smoky underbrush lifted by high notes of violet and spice. Nicely ripe, rather elegantly styled Clos Vougeot, offering an inviting spiciness to its black cherry and dark berry flavors. Much more fun to taste today than the Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques, owing to its fuller ripeness and more refined tannins. It's also juicier and less salty than Mortet's Gevrey bottlings.

Score: 92

This is the first wine to display any appreciable amount of reduction and once again it's enough to suppress the underlying fruit so decant this if you decide to rob the vinous cradle as it were. There is excellent volume and verve to the muscular big-bodied flavors that possess solid mid-palate concentration before terminating in a saline, robust and solidly structured finale. This will need at least 6 to 8 years of bottle age and benefit from 10 to 12.

the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Domaine Denis Mortet has a very reduced nose at first, though returning after an hour it opens up to reveal raspberry, fresh strawberry and vanilla scents. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannin, a fine line of acidity and a gentle grip, but just missing some complexity towards the finish. This is one of the few Clos Vougeot that needs time, but I think that Arnaud Mortet conjured finer 2013s this year.

Score: 89
