"Bernard Dugat reports having had to pick and sort berry by berry to avoid the effects of decimating hail in his 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle. This painstaking and delicate operation was clearly successful. Kirsch and framboise distillates shadow their fresh fruit counterparts, while dark suggestions of decadent forest floor, peat, and game lend striking and mysterious aromatic and palate complexity. A hint of caramel from the barrel is well-integrated (though otherwise, the 100% new wood on Dugat's crus is scarcely noticeable.) This is dense but refined in tannin, full of energy, and positively buoyant. An already sensational concentration is underscored by black peppery pungency, tart berry skin chew, and the further invigoration of salts and tactile mineral impingements, leading to a finish that is glass-shattering in its four-alarm smokiness and urgency. This should prove amazing wine to follow . . ."
