Château Corbin: A Timeless Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
As a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, Château Corbin represents the pinnacle of Bordeaux Right Bank winemaking. Managed by Anabelle Cruse Bardinet, this 13-hectare estate sits on the famed Corbin plateau, bordering Pomerol, benefiting from clay-gravel soils that impart both richness and elegance. The wine, predominantly Merlot (80%) blended with Cabernet Franc (20%), is crafted with a ‘luxury craftsmanship’ approach, ensuring finesse over power.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A deep, vibrant garnet.
- Bouquet: A sophisticated nose of dark plum, ripe cherry, and cassis, underpinned by tertiary notes of cedar, truffle, and a hint of minty freshness.
- Flavour Profile: The palate is beautifully balanced, showcasing a full yet elegant body. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing structure for years to come. The finish is long, complex, and distinctively Saint-Émilion.
Food Matching & Serving Advice
Serve at 17°C (63°F). A quick decant will help the wine express its full complexity. This Grand Cru Classé demands a classic, hearty partner.
- Suggested Food Matches: Traditional Roast Lamb with rosemary and garlic, a rich Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), or a premium Fillet of Beef.
