Maison Arnaud Mortet
About Maison Arnaud Mortet
Arnaud Mortet is the negociant label of Domaine Denis Mortet. Arnaud created his own label after getting access to a 4-hectare estate from a retiring grower. While he buys the fruit from the grower, he exerts full control over the vineyard, applying the same standards as his family vines, which really makes Arnaud Mortet a “negociant” label in name only. The benefit of all this is that when compared to the other Grand Crus from the family estate, the Arnaud Mortet label is much more affordable.

Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, 50% whole bunch and 50% new oak, has an elegant bouquet that is cut from a different cloth compared to the Mazoyères that Mortet insisted should be vinified separately as they are two different terroirs. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, fine balanced, maybe not quite as sophisticated or as nuanced as the Mazoyères yet certainly long.Inc. TAX€3,604.54 -
(6x75cl) 2020Wine Advocate (92-94)
Another notable success is the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière, a medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety wine evocative of cherries, wild berries, rose petals and loamy soil. Textural and seamless, it concludes with a long, mouthwateringly saline finish.Inc. TAX€1,540.38 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perrière 1er Cru, which is 50% whole bunches (pédicelles), has an open, earthy, slightly mulchy bouquet with light red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with granular tannins, more black than red fruit, very nicely defined though it just lacks a bit of length on the finish.Inc. TAX€1,804.54 -

Vinous (90-92)
Using 70% whole bunch to compare with the domaine example, the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is defined by those stems on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied and comes across more peppery than the domaine version, quite defined but maybe without the sensuality of the domaine.Inc. TAX€2,401.68 -

Vinous (96-98)
The 2020 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru contains 50% whole bunch and 50% new oak. This has a crystalline bouquet with shimmering black cherries and light cassis aromas, the underlying mineralité becoming more pronounced with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with just the right undertow of spiciness on the finish. It just oozes class though it will require a cool damp cellar and a bit of patience.Inc. TAX€632.35 -
