Specification

Producer

Château Corbin

Overlooking both Cheval Blanc and Pétrus, this is a beautifully located, family owned château that produces outstanding, affordable claret. It is one of the oldest properties in Montagne which in itself is the smallest appellation in the Bordeaux region with only 18 growers. Dating back to the 16th Century the property has 23ha of vines that surround the Château. Jacques Rambaud took over from his father in 2005.

Tasting Notes

A highly successful Château Corbin that captures the charm and accessibility of the vintage whilst retaining classical Saint-Émilion character. A beautifully expressive bouquet, pure blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit with an aromatic freshness. The palate is layered with cassis and plum, subtle hints of liquorice and boasts a real clarity and precision. There is an impressive sense of energy throughout, balancing the generosity of the fruit with a poised, mineral freshness that gives the wine real definition. The tannic structure is ripe, ample and firm, yet seamlessly integrated into the wine’s fleshy, supple texture. There is depth and concentration without excess weight, and the finish carries excellent persistence with a polished, confident grip.

Vinification

Harvest 14th -27th September with a yield of 37hl/ha. 60% aged in 1-5 year old 300lt barrels and 40% in concrete vats for 10-11 months. Alc 14%.
