Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru has dark cherry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, slightly floral in style, pretty and well defined. Clever use of oak here. The palate is well balanced with good density, the oak more evident compared to its peers and slightly impeding the fruit profile. A little candied on the finish, pretty in style but not quite delivering the nuance and complexity of the best wines in this flight. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru does not quite gel on the nose like Rossignol-Trapet's better Premier Crus at the moment, just lacks some focus. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, moderate depth but it does attenuate towards the grainy finish. Drink over the next decade.
