95 / 100"A little more clay in the soil here. Mid red to crimson. Some red berries and some spice on the nose. The fruit on the palate is weightier than Clos Prieur, cherry and strawberry together, though not necessarily finer. There is an attractive medium to full fruit, then drier tannins to finish. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023."

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru has the most winsome of Rossignol-Trapet's aromatics amongst their Premier Cru, with perfumed red cherries and wild strawberry fruit, very pure and demonstrating the most ripeness. The medium-bodied palate has fine-boned tannins. It’s a refined, elegant Gevrey with clove and white pepper sprinkled over the finish. Well worth seeking out."

Tasting Notes
Brothers David and Nicolas Rossignol run this 100% Organic and Biodynamically farmed Domaine located in the very heart of Gevrey Chambertin. Very early to the Sustainable farming movement, all the family's vineyards, located in some of the most impressive vineyards in Burgundy, were converted to Certified Organic in 2004.
Petite-Chapelle is immediately below the Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru climats of La Chapelle and Les Gémeaux. The soil is deeper and richer in clay, which provides a step up in power and intensity. Ferrous, mineral notes on the nose, this has a darker and more brooding personality than Clos Prieur. The palate is toned, with firm but ripe tannins adding plenty of structure. This is a very complete Gevrey Premier Cru that is both mineral and silky. Drink 2026-2039
