Chambertin Grand Cru - Domaine Denis Mortet 2004

The estate

Since 2006, three first names proudly carry the name of Mortet. Laurence and her two children, Clémence and Arnaud, are writing new pages in the history of the estate; with a deep attachment to the roots that have built it since 1956 and also with a breath of freedom to shape the future.

For Arnaud, the vineyard and the wine are two heritages shaped both by Burgundy and by his family. That is why, at the vineyard or in the cellar, each of his choices responds to a need for authenticity. Every decision is carefully considered to respect the past and translate it as best as possible into today's wines.

Arnaud: "Today, I can say that we work 50% biologically and 50% reasoned, particularly during the flowering period but with infinitesimal doses. I will take just one example: we adjust the treatment doses according to the leaf area. If I have a disease pressure on only 20% of the leaf area, we only use 20% of the approved dose. You can't imagine what that represents in terms of product reduction!"
