Les Corbeaux sits at the northern end of Gevrey-Chambertin's premier cru ladder — literally translated as 'the crows', which tells you something about its character: a little dark, a little angular, not here to flatter. Jane Eyre is a small, quietly serious domaine working in Gevrey, and this 2022 captures both the ripeness of that warm vintage and the natural austerity of the climat. Pinot Noir from this parcel tends toward iron, cool red fruit, and a stony chew rather than the plush generosity you'd find further south in the village.
