RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Perfumed and pure, exuding vivid cherry, strawberry, rose, sandalwood and mineral flavors. Despite its charm and elegant profile, this has well-integrated acidity and tannins. Balanced and long, with a chalky feel underlining the fruit- and spice-flecked aftertaste.

A discreet top note of menthol is present on the notably spicy and ripe aromas of mostly poached plum, red currant and violet. The super-rich, thick and opulent larger-scaled flavors display evident warmth on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin

Chapelle-Chambertin is a 13.5-acre Grand Cru vineyard just north of Griotte-Chambertin in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. Its name comes from the chapel of Notre Dame de Beze, a chapel built in 1155 by the monks of Abbey de Beze and demolished several centuries later during the French Revolution. There is not much slope in this vineyard, nor much soil. Louis Jadot and Claude Dugat have small parcels here, though the largest landholders are Pierre Damoy, 5 acres; Ponsot 1.7 acres; and Jean and Jean-Louis Trapet, 1.5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
