THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle confirms all the promise it showed from barrel and ranks among the highlights of this year's collection chez Dugat-Py. Bursting with aromas of cassis, blackberries, smoked meats, truffles and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety but incisive, simultaneously impressively concentrated and stimulatingly vibrant, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This is the finest Petite Chapelle that I can remember tasting at this address."

BURGHOUND: " As is virtually always the case and, as one would expect, this is aromatically more elegant with its perfumed combination of lavender, red and dark cherry, spice and Asian-style tea. The gorgeously textured and strikingly delineated medium-bodied flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the caressing yet powerful finish that goes on and on. I would note that there is a hint of acid tang but again, as the tannins resolve I suspect that it will progressively fade away."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "75% new oak. 60% stems. Smells invitingly of small wild black berries. Perhaps elderberries? But quite restrained on the nose. That same dark wild character on the palate with a real sour-fresh tang. Chewy texture with no hard edges. That health and ripeness is all there, everything primary but in place. Mouth-watering freshness and long finish. Lovely, concentrated fruit. (JH)."
