Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Petite Chapelle 2020

96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Cooler profile in Petite Chapelle, more delicate in its texture, very seductive in its stone and morello cherry flavors, which has retained excellent freshness and a silky finesse in its tannins. (2023)"

95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "A bit reserved and firmly dense, with dark plummy fruit, grippy tannins and yet an elegant extraction that is sensitive and not at all overdone. Superb. From the 0.35ha parcel in Petite Chapelle with its thin, stony soils close to the mother rock which is composed of limestone called calcaire à entroques because of the fossils it contains. In contrast to the nearby Grande Chapelle, it seems very 'Gevrey'. Drinking Window: 2025-2050. (May 2022)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "I do so love Petite Chapelle! The 2020 version from Domaine Trapet is a stellar wine in the making, offering up a very refined nose of black cherries, black plums, cigar wrapper, dark soil tones, cocoa powder, gamebird, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and already showing the first signs of velvetiness on the attack, with a sappy core of fruit, lovely soil inflection, ripe, seamless tannins and a long, tangy and very complex finish. Stunning juice. 2032-2085. (Nov/Dec 2021)"

92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle reveals notes of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish, it's more tightly wound than the Clos Prieur. (Jan 2022)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin La Petite Chapelle 1er Cru, blended with 80% whole bunch, has a tightly-wound bouquet with crushed stone infusing the blackcurrant and raspberry scents, a nuanced Earl Grey scent percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, finely-chiselled tannins, very good weight with just a hint of menthol that enhances the finish. Drink: 2025-2045. (May 2022)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "70% whole bunch vinification with the main stem removed. More purple than black in colour, clean and pure all the way through, fresher based on the fruit acid balance, lovely dark fruit perfume returns at the back. More minerals. A cut above Clos Prieur this year. (Nov 2021)"
