Chapelle-Chambertin

Chapelle-Chambertin is a grand cru from the Côte de Nuits, located in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. With a surface area of 5 hectares 48 ares and an annual production of approximately 20,000 bottles, it is relatively rare, which enhances its value. This wine, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, stands out for its ability to open up more quickly than other grand crus in the region. It is generally very expressive, offering aromas of stone fruits like cherry, plum, and sometimes delicate floral notes.

The terroir of Chapelle-Chambertin, rich in limestone and clay, benefits from optimal exposure that allows the grapes to ripen slowly. This imparts great finesse and elegance to the wine, which are characteristic of this appellation. On the palate, Chapelle-Chambertin wines present fine tannins and a silky texture, with beautiful length. Although more accessible in its youth than other grand crus from the Côte de Nuits, it has an aging potential of 10 to 15 years depending on the vintage, gaining in complexity and depth over time.

Chapelle-Chambertin wines are perfect for pairing with refined dishes, especially fine roasted meats, such as roast veal or duck breast, which will highlight the wine's finesse. This grand cru also pairs very well with aged cheeses, such as Citeaux or Comté.

Unlike other grand crus in the region, Chapelle-Chambertin is often more accessible and expressive in its youth, making it particularly attractive for those who wish to appreciate its qualities earlier, while still benefiting from its aging potential.
