The Mortet family acquired three years ago the sizeable acreage that informs their 2005 Marsannay Les Longeroies, but Arnaud Mortet reports that the 40-year-old vines had not been well cared for, so a few years of attention will be needed before they and this site show their true potential. Strong plum- and cherry pit and black chocolate bitterness as well as stone and iodine minerality mark the rather spare personality of this wine (which was especially late in finishing its fermentations), but it is undeniably well-concentrated and pure, with the potential for blossoming given a few years in the cellar.
