Description

Overview & Provenance

The 1993 Domaine Denis Mortet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a historic, muscular Burgundy from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most revered winemaking legends. Crafted by the late Denis Mortet during his early golden era, this grand cru parcel yielded Pinot Noir of serious depth and concentration. As a result, it showcases the power and longevity for which Mortet was renowned.

The 1993 vintage in Burgundy was a classic, cool year known for dense tannins and high natural acidity that required decades to soften. In addition, Mortet’s meticulous vineyard work and traditional oak aging built a wine meant for generational cellaring. Therefore, this bottle has now entered a majestic, fully resolved drinking window.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, aromas of dried black cherry, damson plum, and vintage leather fill the glass. Soon after, notes of cedar cigar box, iron ore, damp sous-bois, and black truffle emerge.
Palate: In addition, the palate is firm, deep, and savory, with the once-monumental tannins now smooth and velvety. Mature red fruit, game, and crushed gravel linger across an expansive, mineral finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, stand the bottle upright for 24 hours prior to opening. Next, decant gently off the sediment for 30 minutes and serve at 60°F–64°F (16°C–18°C).

Recommended Pairings: Because of its earthy tertiary notes and structured frame, this mature grand cru pairs well with hearty meats:

Slow-braised beef Bourguignon or venison haunch
Roast crown of lamb with garlic and rosemary
Roast duck breast with wild mushroom sauce
Aged Époisses, Soumaintrain, or Cîteaux cheeses
