- Background
- Corbeaux are large black birds, similar to a raven. This is a relatively new acquisition for Francois, located between the Grand Cru Mazy-Chambertin vineyard and the village itself. Such a great location makes for incredible potential in the wine. Most exclusive since I am Francois’ only customer for his wines.
- Tasting Notes
- Yummy, with ripe dark berry fruit, and a silky midpalate. Very well-balanced, with all the parts in place.
