Ma Cuvée is Arnaud Mortet's village Gevrey-Chambertin, blended from old-vine parcels in the southern half of the appellation. The 2023 is juicy and fragrant, an easy way into the Mortet style.
About This Wine
Ma Cuvée draws on several lieux-dits south and east of the village, including La Justice, Les Épointures and Champs Chenys, on clay-limestone soils. The vines are about 50 years old. These southern sites give a softer, more supple Gevrey than the northern parcels used for the domaine's Mes Cinq Terroirs. In 2023 roughly a third to 40% of the hand-picked fruit was fermented as whole bunches with native yeasts, and the wine was aged in barrel with a modest share of new oak.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Raspberry, red and black cherry, wilted rose and a touch of orange zest.
- Palate: Medium to full, fleshy and bright, with pliant tannin and a hint of dark chocolate.
- Finish: Fresh and moderately long, with red berry fruit and gentle spice.
Serving & Food
Enjoyable from 2026 and through the following decade. Serve at around 16°C in a Burgundy glass; in its first few years a short decant helps. It sits nicely with herb-roast chicken, rabbit in mustard sauce or wild mushroom pasta.
How to Enjoy
Weeknight Burgundy with real pedigree, or a first bottle from a grower worth following.

About the Domaine
Arnaud Mortet grew up in the cellar of Domaine Denis Mortet and took it over in 2006 after his father's death. Since then he has steered the family wines towards gentler extraction and less new oak than in the 1990s, chasing finesse over sheer power. In 2016 he launched a second label in his own name after taking on the vines of a retiring Gevrey grower. His team does all the work in those vineyards, and the grapes are then vinified in the family cellar. Critics note the same rigour in the vines for these bottlings as for the domaine range, and he is widely regarded as a leading grower of his generation in the Côte de Nuits.
