Producer Description:

Historically, Charles MORTET begins in 1956 with one hectare of vines. When Denis takes over from him in 1992, the estate is made up of 4.5 hectares in the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot. In 1993, Denis and Laurence, his wife, take over an estate of 4 hectares including plots of First Growth Lavaux Saint-Jacques, Village plots situated En Motrot, Au Vellé and En Champs and also a plot in Marsannay in the place named Les Longeroies. In 1997, they buy a plot situated En Combe du Dessus in Gevrey-Chambertin; in 1999, a plot of Chambertin Great Growth and in 2000. He died at the age of 51 in January 2006. Now, under son Arnaud and the watchful eye of his mother Laurence, the wines are achieving the minerality and elegance (and seemingly without sacrificing weight) that Denis sought.
