Vintage Character The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, dry summer with well‑timed rains, producing wines of ripe fruit, concentration, and balance. From the Chapelle‑Chambertin Grand Cru, a storied climat named after the Notre Dame de Bèze Chapel built in 1155, this wine reflects both the grandeur of its terroir and the precision of modern winemaking. The vineyard lies mid‑slope, south of Gevrey‑Chambertin, on soils of limestone scree with a thin clay layer, giving both power and minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, the 2020 shows a deep ruby color and an expressive bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, and redcurrant, lifted by floral notes and spice. The palate is voluptuous yet refined, with layers of red and black fruits, supple tannins, and a velvety texture, leading into a long, mineral‑driven finish. Its richness and finesse make it a superb partner for roast venison with juniper, duck breast with cherry glaze, or aged Comté cheese. Les Parcellaires de Saulx, founded in 2017 on the foundations of a century‑old négociant in Meursault, has quickly established itself as a producer of haute‑couture Burgundy.
Winery Background Operating as a micro‑négociant, the domaine sources grapes from carefully chosen parcels across the Côte d’Or, vinifying each climat separately to preserve its individuality. The philosophy emphasizes precision, minimal intervention, small‑lot vinification, gentle extraction, and judicious oak use, ensuring purity and terroir transparency. With holdings spanning from village appellations to grands crus, the domaine has built a reputation for wines that combine site expression with elegance and balance. The Chapelle‑Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 exemplifies this approach, offering a wine of power, complexity, and refinement that stands as one of the estate’s flagship bottlings.
