2015 - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux Vieilles Vignes, Denis Bachelet

Medium red; less saturated than the old-vines village offering, as Bachelet avoids overextracting this cuvée. Subtle, inviting nose melds black raspberry, plum and game. Seriously rich, tactile wine with lovely sweetness and concentration to its dark fruit and floral flavors. Plenty of tannins here for a graceful evolution in bottle but not at all hard or dry today. Finishes with subtle, rising berry flavors and terrific length. This site features deep soil and good moisture retention so it never suffers from drought, said Bachelet, who compared this wine to the 2005 bottling, which he said was starting to drink well.
