Product Description

Located just south of the Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin, « Les Corbeaux » is one of Gevrey’s best-situated Premier Crus—offering a powerful yet refined expression of Pinot Noir. The 2023 vintage from Domaine Château de Laborde is a structured, terroir-driven wine that combines the ripe fruit of the vintage with the earthy, mineral tension that defines the Corbeaux site.

Crafted from low-yielding old vines and vinified with native yeasts, this cuvée is aged in French oak barrels (30% new), striking a perfect balance between richness and restraint. It’s a wine of impressive depth and aging potential, firmly rooted in Gevrey’s bold identity.
