The 2010 Domaine Denis Mortet Bourgogne Rouge is a red Burgundy wine produced by Domaine Denis Mortet from Pinot Noir. This vintage expresses the identity of the grape variety in a regional Burgundian cuvée. At the estate, the 2010 vintage produced wines with a deep colour, prominent fruit, a well-balanced structure and immediately rounded tannins, following a low-yield harvest of fine maturity.

Histoire du domaine
Charles Mortet founded the family estate in 1956 in Gevrey-Chambertin with one hectare of vines. His son Denis joined the estate in 1978 with his wife Laurence. In 1992, Denis Mortet parted ways with his brother Thierry and took over part of the family estate, which at that time comprised around 4.5 hectares in Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot. In 1993, Denis and Laurence acquired a four-hectare estate comprising, in particular, vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin – including a plot in Lavaux Saint-Jacques – as well as in Marsannay. The vineyard was subsequently expanded through acquisitions in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1997, in Chambertin in 1999, and then through further plots in 2000. Following the death of Denis Mortet in 2006, Laurence Mortet and their son Arnaud ensured the estate’s continuity; Clémence joined them in 2013. Arnaud Mortet, who has been working in the vineyards since 2000, oversees the estate’s winemaking. Plots in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin were acquired in 2011, followed by plots in Bonnes-Mares and Mazis-Chambertin in 2014. In 2016, Arnaud and Clémence Mortet simultaneously developed a separate venture under the Arnaud Mortet label, using a further four hectares; these vineyards are not included in the 12-hectare estate of Domaine Denis Mortet.
