Resurrected by life-long Burgundy lover Mark O’Connell in 2011 and our dear friend Pierre Meurgey, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle is headquartered at the Chateau de Bligny, owned by Pierre and no less than Dominique Lafon. The talent behind the new Domaine is considerable, and the wines are already getting rave reviews from the likes of Allen Meadows (Burghound), Neal Martin & Jasper Morris.
We were so impressed by the wines after tasting the 2022s and were surprised to hear that they had little presence in the UK, so it is a real pleasure to offer these wines.
"Sweet red cherry pastille nose, cinnamon stick and star anise, cocoa, spiced plums and raspberry jam tarts, decidedly showy. More tension and focus on the attack, but still very succulent and juicy red and blue berry fruit mid-palate, with salted liquorice tannins and bright acids driving to the pleasingly crisp, tamarind-inflected finish."

Drinking window: 2027 - 2035
What the critics say:
"This is aromatically similar to the Les Teurons with the addition of a touch of kirsch. The slightly sleeker and finer medium weight flavors also conclude in a dusty, youthfully austere and slightly more complex finale that is also noticeably firmer. Lovely. *Outstanding* 2032+"
"Rich deep black purple. Very little nose is emerging at this stage from an obviously concentrated wine. On the heavy side on the palate, dark fruit, fills the palate all the way through, but could be livelier. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2023."
