Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux 2018 Domaine Bruno Clavelier
Domaine Bruno Clavelier's Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the 1er Cru omonio that lies just below the commune's Grand Cru hills.
Domaine Bruno Clavelier operates biodynamically, no chemicals are used in the vineyard and the harvest is strictly by hand, only the best grapes are brought to the winery where they are fermented with indigenous yeasts in large open truncated oak vats.
The old vines owned by Bruno Clavelier on this cru result in a wine that is more severe than others at first taste, but after about ten minutes it opens on classic notes of wild strawberries, raspberry and oriental spices.
On the palate it is beautifully woven, firm and crisp, savory and peppery, almost spicy, in short, a typical and high-level Gevrey Chambertin. In this rather hot vintage, the severity of this wine is mitigated and the wine appears generous, yet powerful. Excellent capacity for aging.
