PRE-ARRIVAL DUE MID JUNE
This domaine has long produced Fixin from a tiny, 0.32-hectare single parcel in Champs Pennebaut, a terroir located midway up the hill on the Marsannay side of the village. Recently Mortet also purchased a parcel of old vines (60-70 years old) in the southern part of Fixin, on the border of the Gevrey AOC in a vineyard called Les Champs de Charmes. From 2014, this parcel has been a part of the blend. Both sites have the classic clay/limestone soils of the Côte d’Or, although the northern soils are considerably darker.
Five-star wine The original Mortet vineyard was Champ Pennebaut, in black soil, to which since 2014 has been added Champs des Charmes, on sand and little stones, which has brought fruit and elegance. 70% whole bunch, the recipe for this wine since 2015. Fine imperial purple, old vines millerand berries, beautifully ripe dark fruit notes, 20 hl/ha with a fresher finish to stop it becoming jammy. 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Outstanding, top value Once again, there is a lovely freshness to the distinctly cool aromas of earth, the sauvage, a plethora of floral elements and essence of red currant. There is terrific vibrancy to the tension-filled medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the highly refreshing finish that is sufficiently rich and pliant that this could be enjoyed after only a few years of bottle age. A quality Fixin villages that is worth checking out. 89-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

Acidic red berries in the finish that cleanse the palate. So much drinkability. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes. 96 points – James Suckling.com […]

Unique pinot noir, with very fine nose of dark fruits, black cherry, sweet spice, petrichor and lavender. For all it’s character and vividness of flavour, this is still a pinot noir and has a lightness of touch on the palate. Silken and smooth, with threaded texture and lanolin tannins and abundant acidity. Casual, cool and […]
Read moreNatural cork. With both this cuvée and the wonderful Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2019 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards lying on the Volnay side of the village. Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. […]
