Tasting Notes

Goedhuis, December 2012
Chapelle Chambertin can sometimes be criticised for being a bit too fine, but not this lovely cuvée from Philippe Drouhin in 2011 of which he is rightly very proud. Deep purple in colour, this is full of bright dark cherry flavours. It almost has a glycerol like texture, the tannins are supple and there is a delicious volume on the finish. A lovely wine.

Burghound, January 2013,
Score: 91-94(from .52 ha parcel in En la Chapelle). This is also notably refined with pure dark cherry, softearth and spice nuances that complement well the intense and beautifully precise middle weight plus flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the balanced, linear and markedly persistent finish. This is a classic Chapelle of finesse. (91-94)/2021+
-
Jancis Robinson, January 2013,
Score: 16+Light cherry red. Not very aromatic. Solid and better balanced than the lesser wines but still a bit of a kick in the teeth rather than a flattering whole. Jagged. There is density here. Drink 2018-2025

Producer
Domaine Drouhin Laroze

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: parents Christine and Philippe, and children Caroline and Nicolas. They have an embarrassment of riches within their armoury of four 1ers Crus and six exceptional Grands Crus, culminating with plots of both Clos de Bèze and Le Musigny. They also boast one of the finest two storey cellars in the Côte d’Or, built by members of the Prussian military on their way back from the Hundred Years War, with ideal conditions maintaining perfect temperatures for Philippe’s preferred two-year élevage in cask.The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.
Region
Chapelle Chambertin
One of the nine Grand Crus vineyards within the Gevrey Chambertin area. Chapelle-Chambertin's vineyards are on gentle slopes, sheltered from the elements by woods to the north. The thin rocky soil forces the vines to work hard. The exceptional wines produced in Chapelle-Chambertin are complex, powerful and incredibly long-lasting.
