About

The 2017 vintage of Chapelle de Labrie Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is renowned for its elegant, expressive character despite the difficult weather conditions that year. We recommend decanting this wine before serving to fully release its aromas and complexity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why decant Chapelle de Labrie 2017 before serving it?

Decanting is recommended to fully release its aromas and complexity. It therefore helps reveal the expressive character described for this vintage.

What should I pay attention to when comparing the wine just after opening with how it is after decanting?

Focus primarily on how its aromatic expression develops: does the nose seem more open, and are the nuances easier to distinguish? These are the aspects on which the expected benefit of decanting is based in the description.

Does the “expressive” character tell me which aromas I will find?

No: the term indicates pronounced aromatic expression, but the description does not name any specific aromas. It therefore does not allow us to promise any particular fruity, oaky, or spicy notes.

Can I choose this 2017 over Chapelle de Labrie 2019 based on style?

The 2017 is described as elegant and expressive. However, no tasting information is provided here for the 2019, so we cannot say that one is more powerful, fresher, or more complex than the other.

How should I approach the tasting to appreciate the complexity described?

After the recommended decanting, take the time to return to the wine rather than stopping at your first impression. Look for the nuances you perceive as you taste, without expecting a predefined list of aromas: the description does not provide one.
