Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux VV 2023 [NET]

Les Corbeaux is Denis Bachelet’s only premier cru in Gevrey-Chambertin, and the Vieilles Vignes bottling comes from his oldest vines in the parcel. From a tiny four-hectare estate he has run nearly alone since 1983, this is the wine that shows his gift for marrying power with perfume. Sustainably farmed, restrained on oak, it’s a structured, deeply flavored Gevrey premier cru built for the cellar. The 2023 has the stuffing to age a decade-plus, or decant it hard for a special meal. A benchmark from a quiet legend.
