Another impressive premier cru bottling from Loïc Dugat-Py, this hails from three parcels on the slope close to Griotte-Chambertin. It's slightly closed at the moment, but with the balance and focus to age superbly in bottle. This has a hint of reduction, pithy, chalky minerality and the fruit intensity that's a feature of the domaine's wines.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle confirms all the promise it showed from barrel and ranks among the highlights of this year's collection chez Dugat-Py. Bursting with aromas of cassis, blackberries, smoked meats, truffles and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety but incisive, simultaneously impressively concentrated and stimulatingly vibrant, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This is the finest Petite Chapelle that I can remember tasting at this address. - William Kelley
