Charles Henri Bourguignon Gevrey-Chambertin 1Er Cru Petite Chapelle 2018

The Charles Henri Bourguignon Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle 2018 is a masterful expression of one of Burgundy’s most cherished premier cru climates, situated just below the legendary Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru. This wine captures the power and opulence of the 2018 vintage while maintaining the signature elegance of the Petite Chapelle vineyard, which is renowned for its deep, stony soils that provide exceptional drainage and mineral tension. On the palate, it reveals a seductive core of dark cherry, wild raspberry, and crushed violets, underpinned by savory notes of forest floor, iron, and fine-grained tannins that provide a sophisticated structure. Produced with a focus on traditional Burgundian craftsmanship, this 1er Cru showcases a remarkable balance of muscularity and grace, offering a long, perfumed finish that promises to evolve beautifully with further cellar aging.
