"The 2009 Corbeaux was really singing at the time of my visit. The classy and vibrant nose offers up a mix of red and black cherries, cocoa, a touch of gamebird, a lovely base of soil, mustard seed, coffee and a discreet framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, suave and classy, with fine-grained tannins, lovely focus and impressive length and grip on the nascently complex finish. This is a much more “feminine” rendition of Corbeaux than Denis Bachelet’s, for instance, but nonetheless a superb bottle of premier cru in the making. It will drink a few years sooner than the Combottes here, and should prove to be a stunning bottle at its apogee."

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.
