(94-98 points) Situated at the northern end (away from Mazoyères) on light soil with lots of stones. To compare with the Mazoyères: a similar fresh full purple. Tense dense deep fruit, the riper of the two, yes also with a little more tension despite the riper fruit. Beautiful finish. The approach is very different and I get the impression that Arnaud prefers this wine. If it does get the nod it is on the quality of the finish, but I love them both.

(93 - 95 points) The real highlight of the portfolio is Mortet's spectacular 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, a beautiful wine that soars from the glass with notes of cherries, berries, spices, sweet soil tones and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, layered and exquisitely refined, its deep and textural core of fruit entirely conceals its powdery tannins. Long and sapid, this is worth a special effort to seek out.- WK
