The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Lavaux-Saint-Jacques from Domaine Denis Mortet is an outstanding example of Burgundian winemaking. This wine boasts a deep ruby color and a complex nose of ripe red fruit, earth, and spice. On the palate, it reveals a rich and full-bodied character with a lively acidity and firm, yet silky tannins. The wine's texture is velvety and its flavors of cherry, raspberry, and black currant are nuanced and layered. The finish is long and memorable, with a lingering spiciness and a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine balanced and elegant.
While this wine is drinking beautifully now, it has the structure and balance to age gracefully for many years to come. This Gevrey is an outstanding expression of the terroir and the vintage, and is sure to delight Burgundy aficionados and collectors alike. We highly recommend acquiring one for your cellar.
