Domaine Denis Mortet is a Burgundy producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the Côte d'Or's most celebrated wine villages. The estate produces exclusively Pinot Noir wines from this renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits subregion.

Gevrey-Chambertin is known for producing some of Burgundy's most structured and age-worthy Pinot Noir wines. The village sits on limestone-rich soils with varying elevations and exposures, creating distinct terroir expressions. Wines from this appellation typically display deep color, concentrated fruit flavors, and firm tannins that soften with cellar aging, often showing earthy minerality alongside red and dark berry characteristics.

The domaine's current range includes their "Mes Cinq Terroirs" bottling, which blends fruit from five different vineyard parcels within Gevrey-Chambertin, and wines from the premier cru vineyard Lavaux Saint-Jacques. This premier cru site, located on the hillside above the village, is known for producing wines with particular elegance and complexity.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Marsannay is the northernmost appellation in Burgundy's Côte d'Or, located at the transition between the Côte de Nuits and the city of Dijon. This appellation was officially established in 1987, making it one of Burgundy's newer AOCs. The vineyards are positioned on gentle slopes facing east and southeast, with elevations ranging from 250 to 390 meters.

The terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils mixed with alluvial deposits from ancient river systems. The climate is continental with moderate rainfall and good sun exposure. Marsannay is unique among Côte d'Or appellations as it permits the production of red, white, and rosé wines, though red wines from Pinot Noir dominate production. The appellation covers approximately 230 hectares across the communes of Marsannay-la-Côte, Couchey, and Chenôve.

Marsannay red wines typically display the approachable character of northern Burgundy Pinot Noir, with bright red fruit flavors, moderate tannins, and good acidity. These wines tend to be less structured and concentrated than those from more prestigious Côte de Nuits appellations further south, making them accessible in their youth while still capable of moderate aging. The limestone-rich soils contribute mineral undertones and help maintain freshness in the wines.
