Description

The Denis Mortet Marsannay Les Longeroies is at the pinnacle of wines you'll find from the small subregion of Marsannay, on the southern outskirts of Dijon.

Practicing organic viticulture, the Mortet family uses meticulous winemaking techniques. The 2021 vintage includes 60% whole cluster fermentation with indigenous yeast, aged for 18 months in barrels (15% new), and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This enhances the wine's structure and elegance.

Arnaud Mortet, who took over after his father's passing in 2006, runs the domaine with his sister Clemence and mother Laurence. Arnaud's approach focuses on purity and finesse, reducing new wood and extraction.

It shows lovely dark and red fruits, mingled with sublte spice and floral freshness, with some earthy savouriness reminding you that this is Burgundy. The 2021 Marsannay Les Longeroies is approachable now and suitable for cellaring. 

“The colour is no deeper than the Bourgogne Rouge, and there is no more immediately evident on the nose. There is light and tight raspberry fruit, that then concentrates more at the back, with the stems showing much more prominently. Less together than the Bourgogne today but with promise. Kicks on right at the end.” 89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

“The 2021 Marsannay Les Longeroies, matured with 60% new oak, is a little candied on the nose, pretty with a hint of cough candy. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine mineralité with a precise and persistent finish. Lovely.” 90-92 points, Neal Martin Vinous

The vineyard name, Les Longeroies, probably comes from the French verb longer which means ‘to border’. This makes sense as Longeroies is on the boundary between Marsannay and the next village of Chenôve. It is a star climat of the AOC and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when Marsannay finally gets some!) Longeroies faces south, and the two Mortet parcels sit mid-slope. One is 50 years old, and the other was planted with Pinot Fin clones in 1992.

The aging consisted of 18 months in oak, only 10-15% new and the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels. Fifty per cent whole bunches were used this year. Although the prices are now rising, Marsannay remains one of the last great value appellations of the Côte, and this is certainly one of its very best examples.
