justerini & brooks tasting note

Planted in 1968 on a blend of Oxfordian limestone and Kimmeridgian marl, Petit Chemarin is the coolest single vineyard site in the domaine’s holdings and consistently produces wines of delicate aromatics, quiet tension and crystalline fruit. Aged on lees for 12 months in 600 litre barrels, the 2023 shows remarkable poise, with aromas of cool citrus, lemon oil and crisp green apple gently lifted by notes of white blossom and white stone fruit. The palate is delicate and finely drawn, with a firm, linear drive finishing with a sleek wet-stone minerality.

critic reviews

92/100Rebecca Gibb,Vinous

The 2022 Petit Chemarin shows a softness and richness of fruit. It's supple and almost fondant-like in texture. Expect ripe fruit that's peach-like in flavor. On the finish, the wine is relatively low in acidity, but the chalky nature of the soil gives it length. If you're in need of a hug, this wine will give it. There's tannin and grip that courses through this wine's core, lending structure to the finish, which is what really sets it apart.
