Bruno Clair
Gevrey Chambertin, La Petite Chapelle, 1er Cru, 2009
justerini & brooks tasting note
A stunner, arguably the best Petite Chapelle Bruno Clair has made. This has all the density of the Fonteny and more, with an additional and very attractive floral quality and deep mineral element: ample velvety fruit flavours of damson, cherry, bramble and Victoria plum, lifting floral scents of fruit blossom, excellent.

92-94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle is bigger and sturdier than the Fonteny, yet still retains plenty of elegance. There is plenty of depth and richness to the fruit, not to mention superb balance and a round, completely engaging finish. Given the wine's structural intensity, I would not be surprised to see this close down for a few years after bottling.
