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.
"Deep colour, dusty nose of red currant, briar, just ripe hedgerow strawberries, sweet red peppers, red plum skin, paprika and quarried stone. Sappy, crunchy, peppery, herbaceous-edged palate, cranberry and sarsaparilla dominant, with lean, savoury tannins."
Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
Drinking window: 2025 - 2035
What the critics say:
"A riper nose is comprised by notes of poached plum, black pinot fruit liqueur and a whiff of kirsch. The rich, punchy and surprisingly dense medium-bodied flavors, particularly for such young vines, culminate in a sappy but overtly austere finish where bitter pit fruit character is prominent. 2030+"
"The young vines of Taillepieds, not ready to go into the main wine. In future years there will be other young vines from different 1ers Crus. A rich heady purple, with an inky note to the nose. Almost over the top though the structure just about keeps it in balance. The youth of the vines shows in the lack of hinterland. Nonetheless this has some of the Taillepieds limestone character. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted: October 2023. "
