Gevrey Chambertin, Mes Cinq Terroirs, 2013
Arnaud has decided to blend his villages parcels into one cuvée this year, something that has not been done at the Domaine since the 2005 vintage. The blend includes Au Velle, En Champs and all of the other old vines villages cuvées. A little closed but such a wonderful shape, texture and focus. Very fine, suave tannins underpin bright, and alluring hedgerow fruit. Aged in 30% new oak.
critic reviews
(30% new oak): Deep red with ruby highlights. Cool aromas of purple fruits complicated by a wild gamey element. High-pitched blue and black fruit flavors are framed by strong acidity and accented by a light peppery quality. A bit rigid in the early going due to its firm tannic spine but this wine shows impressive spicy intensity and inviting salinity. Mortet believes this will be best in ten years.
