Bernard Dugat-Py, Gevrey Chambertin Petite Chapelle Vv other_regions_italy A pungent nose of earth

A pungent nose of earth and wood leads to supple

the wine continued showing the riper character and more Mediterranean profile of the vineyard

This is certainly good but 2017 is not a great vintage for this wine

This is not a big example or even especially muscular but it’s harmonious and should age well

It eventually became far more expressive

Bernard Dugat-Py, Gevrey Chambertin Petite Chapelle Vv other_regions_italy A pungent nose of earth(from 50+ year old vines vinified with 40% stems). The classic elegance of a fine Petite Chapelle is on display here with its pure, high toned and wonderfully lacy nose of dark cherry, cassis and spiced plum. There is an abundance of minerality infusing the concentrated, phenolically mature and driving finish that is quite firm without being aggressive yet impeccably well balanced. Lovely juice and textbook Petite Chapelle. (91 93) 2021+
