Les Corbeaux: This 3.21-hectare Premier Cru climat in Gevrey-Chambertin is situated in just south of the village of Gevrey, and east of the Premier Cru Fonteny vineyard. Facing east from an elevation of 300m, the soil is limestone-based, peppered with small pebbles in the upper portion of the vineyard, and exhibiting somewhat richer and browner soil at the lower section.
The vineyard lies over the site a of a cemetery from the Middle Ages. The name Corbeaux, which means “crows” in French, attests to the birds that were attracted to the burial site.
The most notable wine from the vineyard is produced by Domaine Denis Bachelet.
