Critics Scores
Decanter
The Corbeaux was more reserved at the time of our tasting, opening up in the glass to reveal a reticent bouquet of wild berries, rich soil and a framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine displays more amplitude and structure than the village cuvées, but the same bright acidity and vibrant fruit.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux has a very different aromatic profile than the Les Evocelles: this is more masculine and introspective, yet still very complex. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, perfectly judged acidity, understated and elegant with a cheeky touch of cassis popping up on the finish. Divine, but it will require a few years in bottle.

There is a touch of the sauvage to the plum, wild currant and underbrush-suffused aromas. The supple and round yet impressively concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess good underlying muscle and ample punch before culminating in a firm but not really austere finale. In contrast to the prior wines that could basically be enjoyed young, this will require at least some patience and should amply recompense up to a decade of keeping.
Tim Atkin
Corbeaux is well situated, just outside the village next to the Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru. This parcel was planted in 1920 and is one of the stars in Denis Bachelet’s cellar. The 50 new wood is deftly handled here, complementing the wine’s understated concentration. Crunchy, violet-perfumed and complex. 2022-30.
