The 2021 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle is a refined Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of the most respected vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. Situated just below the Grand Cru slopes, Petite Chapelle is known for producing wines that combine the structure and depth of Gevrey-Chambertin with an elegant, finely detailed expression of Pinot Noir.
The nose is aromatic and complex, offering notes of black cherry, red currant and wild raspberry alongside hints of violet, spice, forest floor and subtle oak. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and concentrated red and dark berry fruit. Layers of earthy and mineral nuances add complexity, leading to a long, poised and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Premier Cru with both finesse and ageing potential. Its balance of fruit, structure and terroir character makes it a versatile food wine. Pair with roast duck, lamb, game birds or mushroom-based dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for the next 10–15 years as it develops greater complexity and depth.
