One of the 26 Premiers Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, Petite Chapelle lies to the south of the village, near the Grands Crus Chapelle-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin, in a windy zone with deep soil. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in vats for up to 4 weeks, and then the wine is matured for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels.

Tasting Note

A nicely colored wine with firm tannins and a fine flavor, this will develop for 8 to 20 years in the bottle, depending on vintage.
