Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy Generally Gevrey Chambertin « Petite Chapelle » is well coloured. Tannins are quite numerous, strong but finely flavoured. Less dynamic than Premier Cru of Combe de Lavaux that are on a slope, Gevrey Chambertin « Petite Chapelle » is rather close to Grand Cru « Mazoyères » and « Chapelle ». This wine will match quite strong and sophisticated dishes. It will perfectly match boeuf bourguignon, leg of lamb and most matured cheeses, but not blue cheese. Preservation This wine will certainly improve up to 8 to 20 years if kept in very good conditions of temperature and humidity and following the vintage.
