Tasting notes
Bright, saturated medium ruby. Reduced aromas of dark raspberry, fresh herbs and pepper. Complex, smoky and sweet, with lovely generosity and elegance to the black raspberry, saline and floral flavors. This seemed higher in acidity from barrel a year ago. Deep, sweet, rich wine, with supple tannins that won't get in the way of pouring this into a carafe and enjoying it now.

The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chappelle emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, spices, mint and licorice. This is a totally harmonious, gracious wine from Bernard Dugat. The richness and weight of the fruit are very nicely balanced by the cooler, more vibrant qualities of the year. This is all class and elegance. Small red berries, flowers and licorice reappear on the finish. The Petite Chapelle was vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in 100% new oak.
40% whole bunch. 100% new oak. Gentle but direct perfume of ripe red fruits and something floral. Pure. Really fine tannins. Lipsmacking and impressive. (JR)
Red with ruby highlights. Blackberry on the nose, lifted by strong violet and lavender notes. Juicy, youthfully imploded black fruit and floral flavors are framed and supported by a strong acid spine and substantial oak tannins. As tight as this is, it already displays lovely perfumed length.
