Bruno Clavelier, Gevrey Chambertin Corbeaux

Bruno Clavelier, Gevrey Chambertin CorbeauxA gentle application of wood frames the notably earthy and sauvage aromas of dark berries and humus. There is a lovely sense of freshness and vibrancy to the delicious, intense and saline middle weight plus flavors that deliver excellent depth and length on the well balanced finale. This is very Gevrey in basic character and will need at least 10 years to reveal its full potential. (90 93) 2023+
