Product details
Domaine Arnaud Mortet Gevrey‑Chambertin 1e Cru La Perrière 2022 showcases the refined artistry of a family legacy rooted in Gevrey‑Chambertin since the 1950s. Arnaud Mortet, following in the footsteps of his father Denis, emphasizes restrained oak use, deliberate canopy management, and thoughtful winemaking decisions—such as hand‑removing the central rachis from each cluster for selected whole‑cluster fermentations~40% of the cuvée—to enhance aromatic lift without bitterness. The vineyards, some over 60 years old, sit on deeply stony former‑quarry soils that impart exceptional minerality. Indigenous yeasts, minimal new oak (approximately 25%), organic practices, and élevage of about 17–18 months all combine to create wines of purity, elegance, and terroir‑driven precision.
On the nose, the 2022 La Perrière exhibits a stony, slightly austere bouquet layered with delicate blackberry, raspberry, vine smoke, raw cocoa, and orange zest—aromas that unfold with a Burgundian sense of restraint and depth. The palate is medium‑bodied with fine, silky tannins and a strict, linear structure: pure red berries give way to spice‑box notes on the finish, accompanied by subtle citrus lift and minerality. With its combination of finesse and power, this wine pairs beautifully with herb‑crusted lamb, duck breast, or mushroom‑rich dishes that highlight its earthy complexity and silky fruit.
