Method of cultivation: vine cultivated in biodynamics certified DEMETER by ECOCERT.

In 1155, the monks of Bèze had built at this place a chapel called Clos de Bèze because it was facing him and was therefore on the east side of the path that goes from Gevrey to Morey. A portico spanned even the path from east to west. 
This chapel was dedicated to Our Lady.

Fallen into disuse in XVth century, it is rebuilt in 1547 by the vine growers. It is Philibert de Beaujeu, bishop of Bethlehem, who dedicates again the 4 July. She was shaved after the Revolution of 1789.

The locality was initially named Sous la Chapelle (the first mention date of 1457), with a High and a Low part.

The Chapel is on a slightly declining area. It is one of the most solar and early sectors of finage Grands Crus.

The situation of the plot is just below Chambertin.

The exhibition is perfect in the Levant.

Its soil is brown, stony and very shallow. At about 30 cm, there is a band of limestone rocks (called lava) which sometimes outcrop. The lavas are flat, gray limestone slabs; they were once used to cover the roofs of houses and churches. Similar roofs can still be found in Burgundy today.

A low slope ensures excellent natural drainage thanks to permeable white limestone scree that line this remarkable plot.

The low thickness of the soil and its rather warm nature lead to La Chapelle-Chambertin a portly and sensual wine, with finesse and elegance, always with great aromatic richness and exceptional density.

The average age of the vines is 60 years (the first plantations date from 1930) and planted only in fine Pinot Noir from mass selection with a planting density of 12 500 plants / ha.

The Chapelle-Chambertin appellation brings together two localities under its name, “Chapelle” proper and “Les Gémeaux”.

Less solar than upper chapel (in a slightly deeper soil), Gemini gives fleshier wines, very dense, tannins a little more formed.

Only this Domain owns these two parcels and is able today to diffuse an assembly of Gemini and Chapel.

Burgundy Pinot Noir Frédéric Leprince 2022 75CL

After a scientific training in biology, his winegrowing history begins with the chance of encounters, according to the internships and the various jobs he has held. Frédéric LEPRINCE knew that one day he would have a business of his own, but first he had to learn, discover, observe and do.

For about twenty years, he discovered all the facets of the profession. Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.

Still marked by their spirit and their know-how, here are some decisive meetings of its first life.

Winemaker at Gevrey Chambertin

Domaine René Bouvier is a family home created in 1910 by the grandfather of Bernard Bouvier, current master on board with his wife. The farm counts 13 hectares in pinot noirand 4 in chardonnay for a total of 18 appellations in Burgundy, Côtes-de-Nuits-Villages, Fixin, Marsannay et Gevrey-Chambertin, including Premiers and Grands Crus.

The vineyard is conducted in sustainable agriculture and is converted to organic farming, with tillage, disbudding, harvesting in green, harvest and manual sorting. In 2006, the estate has inaugurated a new winery of 1 200 m², the care given to winemaking and breeding making it a safe bet in the Burgundy.

When you ask Bernard Bouvier what a good wine is, he replies that "it is a wine that makes your mouth water, that makes you want to finish the bottle you have uncorked". Far from marketing, he prefers to evoke the expression of vintages and terroirs, and rejects a certain standardization of wines. This search for quality combined with respect for the terroir defines the Bouvier touch: round and powerful wines with perfectly tamed tannins.
