It combines the depth and structure you expect from this premier cru with the finesse, freshness and silkiness that made Domaine Denis Mortet famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProefnotities\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this wine shows a deep, bright ruby color with beautiful concentration. The nose is remarkably expressive, offering black raspberry, mocha, smoked meat and sweet oak, with a pronounced toasted character that adds extra complexity.\n\nOn the palate it is fuller, sweeter and more aromatic than many wines from the vintage, with plenty of volume and a strong structural backbone to support the fruit. The tannins are substantial yet ripe, and the finish is very long and persistent. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, especially for lovers of mature Pinot Noir with both richness and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProductie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Lavaux Saint-Jacques, one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most admired premier cru sites, known for wines that combine power, depth and elegance. The domaine has long focused on low-intervention vineyard work, with no herbicides or artificial fertilizers used since 1996, and a strong emphasis on preserving soil health and balance in the vineyard. Harvesting is done with great attention to yield and berry quality, while vinification is aimed at preserving Pinot Noir’s natural precision, structure and perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEten \u0026amp; Serveren\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this wine at around 16–18°C to allow its aromatic depth and structure to unfold fully. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, pigeon, game birds, mushroom dishes, braised veal or lamb, and refined dishes with earthy, savory flavors. Decanting is recommended if the bottle is opened in its earlier drinking window, though a mature vintage like 1998 may only need a light decant to remove sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Denis Mortet was established in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1956, starting with just one hectare under Charles Mortet. Denis Mortet took over in 1992 and helped elevate the domaine’s reputation dramatically, expanding its holdings and refining a style that became highly admired in Burgundy. Since 2006, the estate has been run by Laurence Mortet together with their children Arnaud and Clémence, continuing the family’s commitment to precision, purity and exceptional terroir-driven wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denis Mortet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46877161947267,"sku":"FW-138","price":669.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4591\/7571\/files\/denismortetlavauxstjacques1998-30.png?v=1774602214","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.nl\/products\/denis-mortet-gevrey-chambertin-1-cru-lavaux-st-jacques-1998","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
