The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle is a Premier Cru Burgundy from the northern sector of Gevrey-Chambertin in France’s Côte de Nuits. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by the respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate, this wine reflects the structure and mineral detail associated with the Petite Chapelle climat while maintaining the estate’s traditional and restrained style. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness and vibrant acidity, creating a wine with both immediate appeal and strong ageing potential. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine but structured tannins and bright acidity that provide balance and length. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and subtle blackcurrant unfold alongside savoury notes of liquorice, forest floor, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Petite Chapelle contribute freshness, mineral precision and tension throughout the palate, while the estate’s low-intervention approach preserves vineyard expression and purity of fruit. The finish is long, dry and finely balanced with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Premier Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a structured and terroir-driven Gevrey-Chambertin with classic Côte de Nuits character and strong cellaring potential. The 2022 vintage combines concentration with freshness and should continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked beef or aged hard cheeses.
