Notes · 読み物

ジュヴレ・シャンベルタンのプルミエ・クリュであるレ・コルボーは、村の北側に位置するグラン・クリュ、マジ・シャンベルタンに隣接する。かつてこの畑の一部はマジ・シャンベルタンへと編入された歴史を持つ。地形的にはコンブ・ド・ラヴォーの扇状地から影響を受けており、土壌の組成や温度環境にその特徴が表れている。主な所有者には、セラファン、リュシアン・ボワイヨ、ドニ・バシュレ、ブルーノ・クラヴリエ、ロシニョール・トラペなどが名を連ね、セラファンが0.45ヘクタール、リュシアン・ボワイヨが0.43ヘクタールを所有する。マジ・シャンベルタンに近い立地条件から、力強さと複雑さを兼ね備えたワインを生み出すポテンシャルを秘めている。

History

Les Corbeaux is a premier cru *climat* on the northern edge of Gevrey-Chambertin, clustered near Brochon alongside sites like Evocelles and Ergots. Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest commune of the Côte de Nuits and home to nine grand crus — Les Corbeaux sits well below that summit, but the commune's dense concentration of talent means even lesser-known premier crus attract serious producers.

Style & Terroir

Pinot Noir, red only. Registered holdings total approximately 1.67 ha across 7 producers. The northern exposure tends to produce leaner, more aromatic wines than the deeper soils of the village center. Premier cru rules apply: minimum 9,000 vines per hectare, yields capped around 45–48 hl/ha.

Notable Producers

- Domaine Serafin (0.45 ha) - Domaine Lucien Boillot & Fils (0.43 ha) - Domaine Denis Bachelet (0.42 ha) - Domaine Bruno Clavelier (0.22 ha) - Domaine Rossignol-Trapet (0.15 ha)
