When to drink this wine : Now to 2030
Tasting notes: The Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru la Petite Chapelle has a stronger marine/iodine influence than other cuvées in the same appellation. The palate is structured and gripping on entry. This is a masculine, frank and square Gevrey, but it needs a little more nuance and fleshiness on the finish.

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION
Gevrey Chambertin is a commune located in the north of the Côte de Nuits. It has 26 premiers crus and 8 grands crus. Half of the premiers crus surround the grands crus (towards Morey), the other half is to the north towards the combe de Lavaux, with limestone and clay soils.
CHARACTERISTICS
The Premier Cru Petite Chapelle is located just below the Grand Cru Chapelle-Chambertin, south of the village of Gevrey. It has an eastern exposure and the soil is very stony and well drained. It produces an elegant and silky wine.
VINIFICATION AND MATURING
Harvesting is done manually in small crates in order to preserve the the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully sorted carefully by hand and then destemmed. The maceration of the grapes takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The vats are pumped over 2 times a day during fermentation. The ageing lasts 18 months in oak barrels.
