Bourgogne Rouge, Cuvée Les Charmes de Daix, 2021, Domaine Thierry Mortet, Burgundy

A lovely Burgundy red for a famed producer. Based in Gevrey Chambertin, Thierry Mortet produces about 500 cases a year of this wine, from six different parcels making up about 1 ha. The different sites and varying age of vines lets Thierry produce a lovely vibrant wine.

This wine has plenty of sweet red cherry and strawberry fruit on the nose. Deep, dense and brilliant, its smoky spice opens to fresh black cherry sweet fruit with a charcoal edge. Delicious and luscious!

Alc Vol: 12.5%

Thierry Mortet took over his half of the family domain, Domaine Charles Mortet et Fils in 1992 with 4 hectares of vines. He now oversees 7.3 hectares (just under 17 acres) of production, 6 ha in red and the rest in white, for an annual production of 30-35000 bottles. When he officially converted his domain to organic agriculture in 2007, he was merely codifying practices that he had already been following for years out of respect for the environment and an understanding of the cultural significance of his work.
