Tasting notes
Healthy medium red. Reticent aromas of medicinal red cherry and menthol accented by pepper and herbs. Much less forthcoming today than the village Gevrey, and in a considerably darker style. The backward, classically dry finish features serious tannins and good mineral cut. Conveys an impression of thick skins.

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin la Petite Chapelle has a voluminous, floral bouquet that is very seductive: oodles of raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin, finely judged acidity and impressive minerality on the reserved finish that will need a couple of years in bottle.
Relatively deep crimson. Lots of sweet fruit plus a hint of compost. Very edgy with marked acidity and some smooth sweet fruit too. Needs lots of time. Dry end for the moment. (JR)
