The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux has a very different aromatic profile than the Les Evocelles: this is more masculine and introspective, yet still very complex. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, perfectly judged acidity, understated and elegant with a cheeky touch of cassis popping up on the finish. Divine, but it will require a few years in bottle.(NM)

Les Corbeaux can often be one of the more structured premier crus in Gevrey-Chambertin in its youth, and I often find that this terroir really does well in vintages with such inherent elegance as is found in 2016. This is going to be a terrific wine, as the bouquet jumps from the glass in a very classy blend of black cherries, cassis, black plums, bitter chocolate, woodsmoke, grilled meats, black minerality and new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and soil-driven in personality, with a sappy core of black fruit, ripe, seamless tannins and a very long, pure and complex finish. Great Corbeaux in the making. (Drink between 2026-2075)

(the crop level here was a full 42 hectoliters per hectare): Moderately saturated medium red. Very ripe but reticent aromas of black cherry, dark plum, licorice and minerals. A bit more masculine and strict than the Les Evocelles (this wine is from clay soil, while the Evocelles is planted on hard rock) and the only one of these '16s to show any evidence of reduction. Finishes with a firm spine of tannins and a subtle salty character. A rather powerful wine from three parcels, the oldest planted in the 1920s and the youngest following the 1985 frost.(ST)

There is a touch of the sauvage to the plum, wild currant and underbrush-suffused aromas. The supple and round yet impressively concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess good underlying muscle and ample punch before culminating in a firm but not really austere finale. In contrast to the prior wines that could basically be enjoyed young, this will require at least some patience and should amply recompense up to a decade of keeping.
