Gevrey Chambertin, La Petite Chapelle, 1er Cru, 2013
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.
critic reviews
Imposing and structured today, the 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru is built on spine of serious tannin that gives the wine much of its personality. The 2013 finishes with substantial weight and a burst of dark fruit. This burly, powerful Burgundy is going to need time to come together.
The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin Petite Chapelle has a more expressive bouquet than the Clos du Fonteny with a melange of red and black brambly fruit interlaced with woodland scents. The palate is extremely pure with filigree tannins, layers of red cherry and cassis fruit leading to a harmonious finish. Utterly charming, even if it does not possess the substance of Bruno's other Gevrey crus.
