    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Denis Mortet, Gevrey Chambertin, Mes Cinq Terroirs, 2015

    Bright, fine and precise. A crunchy-fresh attack melts into a smooth soft centre, a wonderful balance between charm and focus, beautiful red cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit. The result of 30% whole bunch fermentation, but such is the elegance of this wine, you don’t feel it. A blend of five villages parcels that Arnaud reinstigated in 2013, the sum being so much greater than its constituent parts. Aged in 30% new oak barrels.

    ABV:
    13%
    87-89/100
    Neal Martin, Vinous
    The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs comes from vineyards in the northern slopes towards Brochon and includes 20% whole bunches and raised in 30% new oak. It offers brambly black fruit on the nose with just a hint of iodine that emerges with aeration. The palate is quite sharp and citric on the entry with compact red berry fruit tinged with cola and balanced. It may be missing the persistence on the finish of the previous two vintages. Fine.
