Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru — The Early Elegance of Gevrey

A rare and precious Grand Cru in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin spans barely 5 ha 48 a and produces around 20,000 bottles per year. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, it is known for its early approachability compared to other Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits — with a generous bouquet of stone fruits (cherry, plum) and delicate floral notes.

Terroir

The limestone and clay soils, combined with optimal exposure, allow for slow, even ripening. The result is a wine of refined elegance, silky in texture, precise in structure, and delicately long on the palate.

Style & Character

In its youth, Chapelle-Chambertin charms with vibrant aromas of cherry, plum, and floral undertones, carried by silky tannins. With 10 to 15 years of aging, it gains complexity with hints of forest floor, sweet spices, and blond tobacco, while retaining its natural grace.
