"A vaguely toasty nose is comprised by notes of plum, violet and plenty of earth and sauvage characters. The exceptionally rich, indeed suave and opulent, broad-shouldered flavors possess a natural sweetness that also suffuses the powerful and impressively long finish. This is compact and notably more structured so at least some patience is strongly advised. With that said, this beauty should be at least approachable after only 6 to 8 years of keeping." -Allen Meadows

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corbeaux 1er Cru has a striking bouquet, very estuarine - a nose that evokes memories of frolicking on the mudflats in the Thames when I was a kid. Very fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins at the moment. Plenty of black fruit, very sapid, gets the saliva flowing on the finish. I'd still give this five years in bottle before considering opening one." -Neal Martin

"Bachelet has long striven to tame the structure of this site, but the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux remains the most overtly tannic wine in the range this year. Offering up aromas of smoky berries, cherries and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, with a firm chassis of powdery tannin and a long, youthfully chewy finish." -William Kelley
