Domaine Thierry Mortet
Burgundy

The Estate
The Domaine was created in 1992, when Thierry’s father retired and his estate was divided between his two sons.  Thierry uses Burgundy barrels from Rousseau et Toutan, one third new each year. Annually, the estate bottles 1,100 cases. Thierry strives for fruit and finesse in his wines. Generally his top wines age well for 6-7 years.

The Vineyard
The winery is made up of 7 hectares (17.5 acres) and produces 85% red wine and 15% white wine. The vineyards spread over four villages: Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Couchey and Daix (west of Dijon).
Thierry Mortet uses
classic winemaking techniques: pre-fermentation maceration for 3 or 4 days, total fermentation time of 2 weeks. The grapes are harvested by hand, are sorted and are 100% de-stemmed. The result is expressive, full-bodied, generous, pure wines.

2005 compares with 2002 or 1999.

A wide nose that showcases a tight core of red fruit. Good length. A rather feminine wine. - The Burgundy report

"This rich red has cherry, pepper, raspberry and sandalwood flavors married to well-integrated acidity and tannins, which are a bit beefy on the finish. But needs time. Best from 2013 through 2022. 800 cases made." –BS, Wine Spectator (May 2008), 89 pts

2005
 Thierry Mortet, Gevrey-Chambertin, “Vigne Belle” 12/750ml
The wine is produced from two different parcels.
The age of the vines are 20-40 years old.
These vines are planted on clay and limestone soils, made of numerous small flints.
The production averages 3,000 bottles.
Manual harvest with a selection of the grapes; sorting table; 100% destemming; maceration for 15 days, cold stabilization for 4-5 days; M.L; racking twice a day. Fermentation in 1/3 new oak barrels, 1/3 one year old and 1/3 two years old barrels.
Final blend right before bottling.
A subtle and complex nose. A sweet and delicate mouthfeel. Very nice wine. Black fruit aromas. Dense, good concentration. Good length and well integrated oak.

"Soft-spoken Thierry Mortet (brother of the late Denis Mortet) runs a small domaine turning out softly-satisfying, user-friendly Pinots that in 2005 – even allowing for recent bottling. That said, his 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Vigne Belle offers attractive jellied strawberry and cherry aromas, a gentle, subtly creamy, fruit-filled palate with underlying notes of salt, chalk and iodine, and achieves precisely the sort of softness, elegance and delicacy that Mortet desires to project."
