"The 2021 les Corbeaux from Parcellaires de Saulx is a superb example of this fine premier cru. There is only a single cask of this in 2021 from Isabelle and her team, but it is very special indeed! The bouquet is precise, complex and already nicely expressive, wafting from the glass in a mix of plums, cherries, smoked meats, a nice touch of sweet stem tones, cocoa powder, a fine base of soil, gentle spice tones, smoke and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and tangy, with a beautiful core of fruit, lovely transparency and grip, ripe, buried tannins and impeccable balance on the long and complex finish. I love the backend lift here on the finish. This is a very elegant rendition of les Corbeaux and will be a gorgeous glass of Gevrey in a decade or so!"
