"Corbeaux, right next to Mazis-Chambertin, is one of the coolest microclimates in Gevrey, and in 2009, this was not necessarily a bad thing. Denis Bachelet observed that âthe cooler soils in Corbeaux always produce more masculine winesâ in comparison to other top premier crus in the village. The 2009 Corbeaux is really a stunning wine in the making, as it offers up scents of black cherries, cassis, dark berries, grilled meats, black minerality and a touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite powerfully built, with a rock solid core of fruit, firm, but ripe and very even tannins, good acids and great length and grip on the focused and perfectly balanced finish. This will take a good decade to really blossom, but it will be a great bottle at its apogee and should prove to be particularly long-lived for a 2009."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
