Drawn from a small parcel (0.47 hectares) of vines replanted in 1990, the first domaine bottling of this wine dates back to 1970. The vines are in the Gémeaux lieu-dit that borders Cherbaudes and En la Chapelle, which in turn borders En Griotte. The soils here are particularly poor and rocky, typically producing wines of great minerality and longevity. This cuvée now sees a longer time on skins but with a gentler extraction. It’s all the better for it.

Reviews

“A luxurious purple colour. The bouquet is very classy, much fuller deep raspberry notes, and suggesting a touch of velvet to follow. Dark fruit with some fresher redder points popping up, good acidity but no shortage of fruit to cover it. Very good.”
93-95 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“Ferociously concentrated cherry fruits are nuanced by tones of crushed stones and hints of leather. Long, elegant tannins mix with vibrating acidity to offer a refreshing structure. Alexandre says this comes together even more nicely after it is put in bottle. I believe him, but I would open any bottle for a minimum of four or five years.”
96 points, Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Special Report
“The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is very pure and perfumed, macerated red cherries, wild strawberry, kirsch and rose petal scents, an underlying mineralité that will become more conspicuous with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite firm tannins (more like a Mazis?) leading to a sapid, slightly peppery finish that lingers. Needs to knit together but great potential.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
