Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Corbeaux Vieilles Vignes 2013 Domaine Denis Bachelet

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Corbeaux has a more “airy” and perhaps more floral, feminine bouquet compared with the nascent Les Evocelles ’13. The fruit here leans a little more to the red side of the spectrum rather than black. The palate is structured and more masculine than the Les Evocelles. Beneath the mineral-rich black fruit lurks quite rigid, almost obdurate tannins, although there is superb tension in situ and the grip is almost gentle on the finish. This is the kind of Gevrey then sends tiny ripples of excitement down your back.

Pure, scented and muscular. Very pure and beguiling. A little dry on the end but lovely balance.?
