This is just the second release from this fine terroir just below the Grand Cru Chapelle Chambertin—and one that shares much of that vineyard’s blue-blooded attributes. The soils are limestone scree covered with a thin layer of clay topsoil. This site gives Leroux a prettier and more elegant expression than the more structured Cazetiers (below), although both are really fine and delicate in 2022. Regardless, it possesses real quality thanks to its proximity to the Grands Crus. Two barrels were made this year.

Reviews

“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.”
92-94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“This is an elegant style Gevrey, light on its feet, alpine strawberries, never more than medium bodied and not in 2022 either. Good acidity, while the alpine strawberries return to finish.”
91-93 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
