Jean-Michel Guillon, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru La Petite Chapelle 2022

Here too the wood treatment isn''t subtle though it stops short of fighting with the spicy and wonderfully floral-suffused aromas of mostly red currant and cool cherry. There is terrific punch to the intensely mineral-driven and relatively refined medium-bodied flavors thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins shaping the beautifully long, firm and balanced finale. This beauty could use better depth but the underlying material is such that developing more should be simply a matter of having adequate patience.
