Unwinding in the glass with notes of peonies, orange rind and red plums, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle is medium-bodied, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish.

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle offers impressive transparency on the nose. This is not as fruit driven as the Clos des Fonteny, but it gently unfolds with blackberry and cranberry leaf aromas. The palate is brimming full of red cherry, cranberry and subtle balsamic notes, a fine bead of acidity and great precision on the finish. Bon vin. Understated, but it means business.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle demanded patience for the nose to develop. It eventual does open up and offer attractive crushed strawberry, raspberry preserve and cold stone aromas, just a hint of incense developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, slightly meaty in style with a well-defined finish that needs more time to fully absorb the oak. Good depth and substance here, it will benefit from 3-4 years in bottle.

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Petit Chapelle comes from the domaine's smallest holding at 0.25-hectares. It has a pure, tightly wound bouquet with black cherries and strawberry pastilles, floral tones emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is good nervosité here, tangible mineralité with impressive persistence on the finish. Very feminine and beguiling, this wine will only require a couple of years in bottle but it has the pedigree and substance to age with style.

The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin Petite Chapelle has a more expressive bouquet than the Clos du Fonteny with a mélange of red and black brambly fruit interlaced with woodland scents. The palate is extremely pure with filigree tannins, layers of red cherry and cassis fruit leading to a harmonious finish. Utterly charming, even if it does not possess the substance of Bruno's other Gevrey crus.
