Known for its combination of power, aromatic intensity, and refined structure, this wine reflects both the character of Lavaux St. Jacques and the meticulous philosophy that made Denis Mortet one of the great names in modern Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this 1998 shows a deep, bright ruby color. The nose is immediately captivating, with layered aromas of black raspberry, mocha, smoked meat, sweet oak, and a pronounced toasty, almost torrefied character. \n\nOn the palate, it is richer and more aromatic than many wines from the vintage, with a fuller, sweeter core of fruit wrapped in a broad, generous frame. The tannins are substantial yet ripe, providing structure without hardness, and the finish is impressively long and resonant. While already showing remarkable complexity, this is a wine with the structure to continue evolving gracefully with further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Lavaux St. Jacques, a premier cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, an area prized for producing Pinot Noir with both muscle and finesse. Denis Mortet’s approach was highly focused on vineyard health and balance: from 1996 onward, the domaine avoided herbicides and synthetic fertilizers, and work in the vines was managed with great attention to soil vitality and vine concentration. Harvesting was geared toward small, healthy berries, helping to preserve purity and achieve a strong juice-to-skin ratio. Vinification aimed to express the site’s natural power while maintaining freshness and silkiness in the final wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Gevrey-Chambertin pairs especially well with richly flavored dishes such as roast duck, venison, game birds, beef tenderloin, and mushroom-based cuisine. It also works beautifully with truffle dishes and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 30–60 minutes if opening now, particularly if the wine is still tightly wound. If well stored, it can also be enjoyed without decanting to preserve its delicate aromatic detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Denis Mortet was established in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1956, beginning with just a single hectare under Charles Mortet. Denis Mortet took over in 1992 and helped transform the domaine into one of Burgundy’s most admired estates, expanding its holdings and refining its style. Today the family continues the legacy through Laurence Mortet and her children Arnaud and Clémence, with Arnaud overseeing much of the vineyard work. The domaine is highly regarded in Burgundy for wines that combine classic structure with freshness, finesse, and a notably silky texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denis Mortet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122395947250,"sku":"FW-138","price":669.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/denismortetlavauxstjacques1998-30.png?v=1777475848","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/denis-mortet-gevrey-chambertin-1-cru-lavaux-st-jacques-1998","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
