My last 2011 bottle. The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. Crognolo, aged in French Allier barriques, deep red with red fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, gentle spice and soft tannins with great mouthfeel. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Aged well. — 8 years ago
On the nose, sweet, floral, dark cherries, touch of plum, black raspberries, raspberries, red licorice/cola, lovely funk, canopy leaf, perfumed red florals and fine, sexy, chalky minerality. The mouthfeel is beautifully crisp...medium body. The fruits are bright and tantalizing. Strawberries, dark cherries with Rainer cherries blended in, cranberries, pomegranate, plum, black raspberry, raspberries, soft, super fine powdery chalkiness, crushed dry rock powder, light beautiful spice, red florals with a touch of violets, perfect acidity and a well balanced, polished finish. Photos of, the property entrance, Chevrey Chambertin vineyard and Arnaud. History and producer notes...Domaine Denis Mortet was founded by Denis Mortet in the early 1990s. Strangely, he took his own life at the age of 51 in 2006. He started with modest holdings to become a very well respected Winemaker in Burgundy with his 1993 wines. His son Arnaud has now taken over. The estate vines are relatively young at 25 years. The Domaine's 10 hectares encompass 14 different Appellations, including two Grands Crus in Clos-de-Vougeot and Chambertin. All their wines including their village wines see new oak. This wine is a blend of all their Chambertin holdings and fermented in around 30% new oak. — 9 years ago


Black cherry & strawberry, mineral, floral, dried herbs & spice. This is a nice example of Chambolle from Dujac drinking far better than its Village status. Love it's purity and mineral finish. — 11 years ago
2008 vintage. Beautiful village Chablis. So rare and so piercing and stony. — 11 years ago
One of the few Merlots I can drink at any time and don't have to be in the mood for. Fragrant, smooth, almost silky. — 12 years ago
For a village wine from this weak vintage, this is sensational. — 12 years ago

Gorgeous village Chablis! Happy new year — 8 years ago
Friday night random whites...
Fresh, clean and refreshing, light White peach notes. Nose is attractive, but a little too cold on first taste, so slightly closed initially.
Off-dry blend of NY's Finger Lakes region Cayuga & Vignoles, nose is really opening up nicely with some air and warming of the wine in the glass. Not overly complex, but this is a solid buy for the $10/$13 (wine club/retail) price. — 9 years ago
Always the best village white Burg. Still youthful. Layers of minerals, chalk, and tension continued to unfold. — 9 years ago
I could have never blind tasted this and come close to it being a cab franc...cab sav, sure and about 20 other things too. It's much better than I would have ever guessed. Try it, it's a serious wine. Like it reads Vonnegut and wants to talk about the subtext kinda serious. — 9 years ago
Super spicy a little smoke — 11 years ago
2010 - Complice anche la straordinaria annata, la classificazione Village per questo Chablis di Dauvissat è certamente riduttiva. Completo e coinvolgente. — 11 years ago

We enjoyed this. Just drinking, no pairing. — 8 years ago
Very pretty and floral, with some slight earthiness below. More open than expected. Essence of Chambolle and excellent village wine. — 9 years ago
Cherry cream, toffee, tobacco at first. Well rounded. After 15 minutes or so, sweet spices and wet forest leaves. — 9 years ago
Light to medium gold. A little burnt orange and caramel in the nose. Guessed off vintage old white burg and it was sadly a 2007 Leflaive village. Drink up — 10 years ago
A taste of Beaune — 11 years ago
Past it's prime, but certainly has a bit of life left if you prefer your pinot noir more on the savory side. Has an intriguing red bean quality to it. Unique and still tasty in it's own way. — 11 years ago
Vif, nerveux et frais ! — 12 years ago
Very nice, medium oaked — 13 years ago
