The classic elegance of a fine Petite Chapelle is on display here with its pure, high-toned and wonderfully lacy nose of dark cherry, cassis and spiced plum. There is an abundance of minerality infusing the concentrated, phenolically mature and driving finish that is quite firm without being aggressive yet impeccably well balanced. Lovely juice and textbook Petite Chapelle. Drink 2021+
