“A similar aromatic expression to the previous but with more scale and a little extra freshness too. Like the nose there is extra scale in the mouth and much extra freshness. Complex – even peppery – in the finishing flavours. That’s super but for keeping – It’s clearly my new favourite !!”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“Luxuriously sumptuous in decadently ripe red fruits, this has a beautiful nose of fine spice, violets, mulberries and boysenberries. The elegant structure is perfectly tempered with filmy tannins flowing seamlessly with lifting freshness.”
94 points, Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Report
Diam. Clos du Chapître is a densely planted one-hectare monopole behind the family house and cellars within the Rully 1er Cru Chapître, enclosed by a two-metre-high stone wall. The Pinot yields here are controlled by severe pruning, disbudding and green harvesting. There is also manual sorting of bunches to keep only the most beautiful fruit clusters. This year, the wine aged in oak barrels (10% new) for 12 months before settling in tank before bottling.
Jancis Robinson MW has written that the wines from this site “offer proof that the Côte Chalonnaise can now field wines of serious interest to those raised on Côte d’Or wines”. As always, Clos du Chapître delivers the expected step up from the village Rully in depth, structure and complexity, yet there’s no lack of juicy brightness courtesy of this utterly charming vintage.
