Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Corbeaux” 2021

A commanding 1er Cru from one of Gevrey’s most characterful climats. “Les Corbeaux” delivers the village’s dark, savory side with real refinement. The nose leads with black cassis, ripe blackberry, and plum liqueur layered with licorice, warm spice, and a touch of earth. The palate is powerful and concentrated yet finely knit, carried by firm, chalky tannins and a deep mineral line. Long and serious, this will reward patience over the next decade and beyond.
