2023 Technical Specifications

Region Petite Chapelle
Harvest Dates Estate harvest began 9 September 2023
Production Details Beginning with the 2023 vintage, this cru was purchased as grapes and harvested by the estate. The estate-wide 2023 report says a green harvest in early July limited an abundant crop and describes the juice as very good with lower-than-normal acidity; those juice observations are not finished-wine analyses for Petite Chapelle.

Production Details The vendor classifies the 2022 wine as dry. Its narrative presents extended skin contact and moderate new-oak use as the house approach, without quantifying maceration time or oak percentage; these are vendor-supplied contextual statements rather than a producer specification for the lot.
Tasting Notes Luminous ruby with cherry reflections; red cherry, raspberry and violet with subtle spice, fine minerality and delicate oak; silky palate with vibrant fruit, precise acidity, fine-grained tannins and a mineral finish.
Food Pairing Roast duck with cherry sauce, coq au vin, pink roasted veal, game birds, aged Comté, Époisses or bœuf bourguignon.
