2018 Domaine Henri Rebourseau Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Corvees

France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Gevrey-Chambertin Village Rouge

Gevrey-Chambertin Village Aux Corvées from Domaine Henri Rebourseau has a deep garnet appearance with mauve highlights, producing a dark veneer in the glass. Purple tones with ruby glints, reminiscent of glorious years. 
 
Wine Enthusiast tasting notes vintage 2018 (April 2024): "A beautiful terroir expression offering a bouquet of wild strawberry, red cherry, meatiness, and fresh earth. The textured palate offers prominent floral tones with rose petals that sit atop red berries and thyme woven through its gentle vanilla finish. Beautiful".

Jean de Surrel: "The emotion of Les Corvées reveals itself in the beauty of desire and the anticipation of the absolute".

Stretching south beyond Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Corvées is situated in an area that is relatively flat with rich soils. This gives a taste of the finesse of the Premiers Crus which border its southern extremity. 

In front of the Domaine a road leading to the house marks the boundary between Aux Corvées and La Brunelle. This boundary marks a very clear variation in character. Scree deposits are more disparate. The soil here is relatively deep, reaching depths of 1-2 meters.
