2001 Domaine Denis Mortet- Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs Vieille Vigne


Dinner at 鴛鴦飯店 Yin Yang in Wanchai. Did not bring wine so went to a wine store nearby. It is always both with joy and a touch of sadness when one drinks a Denis Mortet as he took his life in 2006. As the owner of the wine shop said, "with each one sold, there is one less in the world". This was his last one from this terroir and En Champs is an easy to drink with blackberry and cherry fruit. Coffee, chocolate, reasonable tannin and excellent finish. Looking forward to trying more wine from Denis Mortet.
