Tasting notes
(only 40% vendange entier , as with the Charmes-Chambertin): Full ruby-red. Vibrant aromas and flavors of blackberry, violet, licorice pastille, bitter chocolate and wild mint. Boasts compelling sweetness and texture, not to mention inner-mouth tension. Finishes with surprisingly sweet tannins and distinct minerality. Dugat noted that this wine started off hard but that the racking brought much more refinement.

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Petite-Chapelle contains less whole bunch than other cuvées (35% to 40%) and is matured entirely in new wood. I have to say that the new oak dominates the aromatics at the moment, and it is difficult to get through that. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. Here, the oak is more integrated and allows succulent cassis and kirsch notes to develop on the lightly peppered, weighty finish. Quite intense, it will need several years in bottle.
40% whole bunch, 100% new oak. Toasty, sappy nose. Juicy and still a bit marked by oak and tannin. Lots going on here – a fruit salad of concentration! But it needs time for the oak to integrate. (JR)
