The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chappelle emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers spices mint and licorice. This is a totally harmonious gracious wine from Bernard Dugat. The richness and weight of the fruit are very nicely balanced by the cooler more vibrant qualities of the year. This is all class and elegance. Small red berries flowers and licorice reappear on the finish. The Petite Chapelle was vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in 100% new oak. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035. -Antonio Galloni

Here the nose is more elegant and airier with an almost Chambolle-like aromatic profile. The floral and liqueur of red raspberry fruit notes are refined and pure. There is beautiful precision and intensity to the medium-bodied flavors that brim with an almost pungent minerality on the complex long and balanced finish. Though this is lacy and indeed delicate the Gevrey roots express themselves via the sleek but taut muscularity that arrives right on the finish. Impressive juice with plenty of upside potential.
