Note di degustazione
Good dark red. Less obviously ripe on the nose than the Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes but conveying more soil-driven complexity to its aromas of raspberry, spices, violet and licorice. At once dense and juicy, showing lovely energy and definition but a bit youthfully imploded today. Saline soil tones add interest to this very youthful 2015, which finishes with rising floral persistence. These vines are now about 50 years old but winemaker Bachotet told me that recent vineyard work to force the vines' roots deeper is now resulting in smaller grapes and more concentrated wine.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux has a dense, slightly sultry bouquet that gradually unfurls and reveals blackberry, briary and wild strawberry aromas laced with granite and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fleshy and generous with a fine bead of acidity, fanning out with a sense of confidence on the minerally finish. I like the swagger of this Gevrey and it should age with panache.
Heady and round and charming. Really rather gorgeous. (JR)
Bright medium red. Tighter and more subdued on the nose than the old-vines village offering, hinting at black cherry, violet and licorice. Juicy and spicy but pliant too, conveying a fine-grained texture to its flavors of dark berries, spices, leather and game. A bit more tannic than the old-vines Gevrey villages , without that wine's early balance and likely to require more patience upon its release.
