Product Description

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru « Les Corbeaux » from Domaine Château de Laborde is a commanding and age-worthy Pinot Noir from a Premier Cru vineyard that borders the Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin. “Les Corbeaux” is known for its compact soils rich in iron and clay, which yield wines of intensity, grip, and mineral power.

The 2020 vintage, marked by low yields and exceptional ripeness, gives this wine a bold, concentrated profile. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels (about 30% new) for 14–16 months. The result is a wine of depth, tension, and aging potential—fleshier than in cooler years but still driven by its core of Gevrey terroir.
