Reviewed October 2020Petite Chapelle is an interesting terroir just downslope from Chapelle-Chambertin, where Bruno Clair owns a quarter-hectare of 50-year-old vines, enough to make five barrels. One-third whole clusters, fermented on ambient yeasts and punched down once daily, deliver a wine with a bright, high-toned ripe cherry aromas on the nose, and a texture that is tannic and very fresh. A lovely wine that should age well. (CC)

Bright red purple, not too deep, some energy to the nose, this is very pretty on the palate with some roses and alpine strawberries. Attractive long finish, quite a dainty style.

Vinous
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru is the smallest cuvée of the domaine, just 4 or 5 barrels each year. It has fine focus and intensity with blackberry, briary and freshly tilled soil. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, crisp and fresh with a crunchy textured, edgy finish. Elegant and full of tension, it should drink well for 12 to 15 years. (NM)

Burghound
An elegant, pure and layered blend is composed mostly of cool red berries, rose petal and spice trimmed in an all-but-invisible application of wood. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the succulent middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the dusty, balanced and solidly persistent finish. This needs to develop better depth, but the material is present for that to eventually occur. Lovely. *Outstanding*
