Denis Mortet Gevrey Chambertin Vielles Vignes 2009 Magnum

Robert Parker: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin is a pretty, sleek wine layered with elegant fruit and vibrant perfume. This shows lovely focus and energy, not to mention terrific overall balance. I would not be surprised to see this merit a higher score with further bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.&nbspArnaud Mortet told me he is working with less extraction and lower levels of new oak than his father used to employ. Mortet did 5 days of cold maceration followed by 20 or so days of fermentation with very light extraction. The malos finished between June and November 2010, on the late side for the vintage.Arnaud Mortet told me he is working with less extraction and lower levels of new oak than his father used to employ.
