Chapelle Chambertin

One of the 8 Grands Crus of the Gevrey Chambertin commune spanning 5.39ha. The vineyard is found on the way to Morey St Denis from Gevrey below the Route des Grands Crus lower than le Chambertin, on same level as Charmes and Griotte-Chambertin. The wines of Chapelle can be very good and ageworthy, they are often bold, muscular wines sometimes to the point of extreme austerity but the best examples show sufficiently polished fruit to flesh out their structure.
