La Chapelle shows restraint and composure in 2020, with blackberry and damp earth notes weaving through a structured frame. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that grip without overwhelming. Marine minerality adds complexity to the finish, along with a touch of licorice. This needs several years to fully express itself, but the foundation is solid.
