Reviewed January 2024This wine's enchanting blackberry and violet aromas invite the discovery of the rewarding substance and depth of this fine example of Lavaux Saint-Jacques from Domaine Denis Mortet. The texture is dense and lively, and the finish lingers invitingly. The domaine farms a parcel of 1.2 hectares of sixty-year-old vines, whose grapes are partially destemmed and carefully fermented on native yeast before ageing over two winters in a cask. It would be best to wait at least three years before drinking, and this wine should continue to improve for 10 to 15 more years after this.(CC)

Vinous
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru includes one-third whole bunches and one-third new oak. Again, this is elegant and pure on the nose, beautifully defined with a Rousseau-like personality. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very expressive yet understated. This doesn't need to boast. It has an effortless quality, fanning out wonderfully towards the finish. An outstanding Lavaux Saint-Jacques.(NM)

Burghound
Note: from 5 different parcels situated all over the appellation that total 1.17 ha; note that this is sold under both the Domaine label as well as that of Arnaud Mortet. Firm reduction dominates the nose though there is both good verve and freshness to the bigger-bodied and more powerful flavors that possess excellent mid-palate density while delivering outstanding length on the firmly austere, complex and balanced finale. This is however quite structured and a wine that is not likely to make for especially interesting early drinking.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*

Just 25 hl/ha in 2022. The bottom part was hailed and therefore destemmed, while the pedicel treatment could be used above, making one third overall. Anyway, a fresh cool terroir doesn’t need much. A slightly darker fruit on the nose, along with some white pepper. Raspberry fruit, lighter and finer at the back. Very cheerful. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2023.
