Gevrey-Chambertin · red · 6
Named for a chapel demolished in the Revolution, beside Griotte.
Under the vines
Thin and stony, with more limestone gravel than the crus below.
In the glass
Lighter-framed and floral, among the more approachable of the nine.
Why it sits here
One of the least expensive Gevrey grands crus, largely because it is least known.
Commonly misread
That being cheap among grands crus means it underperforms. Here it mostly means it is unfashionable.
Names worth knowing
Trapet, Rossignol-Trapet, Damoy, Cécile Tremblay
