Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with dried rose petals infusing red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with bright red fruit laced with orange rind. It has good depth and is slightly brittle on the finish, yet it feels long and complex. It's worth seeking out, but it needs time.
