Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Petite Chapelle"

A great appellation in the Côte de Nuits, both for its size and its renown, Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for the impressive diversity of its terroirs. White wine is not produced here, only Pinot Noir grapes are grown.
The "Petite Chapelle" Premier Cru Climat (less than 10 acres in total), stands out for its elegance with finesse that is equalled only by its older, and more prestigious Grand Cru neighbour, "Chapelle-Chambertin".
