Denis Mortet Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee de Noble Souche 2021

As always, the fruit for this wine comes from the plateau at Daix, near Marsannay. The vines sit at 400 metres, which brings freshness and purity. The very low yields contribute remarkable depth and age-worthiness. Even at this level, over 60% bunches were included, and only 5% new oak. This has always been a brilliant Bourgogne, and this is absolutely the case in 2021. A truly exceptional wine for the level.

“Five Star Wine. Glowing fresh purple with a brilliant super sensual bouquet, more angular in the mouth than some vintages but of a fruit quality and a gracefulness that is first class. I would buy multiple cases of this for myself if he would let me! Naturally higher acid spot so the whole bunches work well.” 89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
