ABOUT THE WINE
Chateau Grand Corbin is one of the oldest estates in Saint-Emilion, dating back to the 15th century. The beautiful chateau was constructed in the 1800s. In the late 1990s, Anabelle Cruse and her sisters purchased the shares of Chateau Grand Corbin from the other family shareholders and took over complete ownership of the 15.5-hectare estate. In December 2010, the estate was purchased by the Groupe SMABTP, who combined it in 2012 with the vineyards of Chateau Haut Corbin and Chateau Le Jurat to form a new 24.5-hectare estate under the Grand Corbin name.
TASTING NOTES
A more opulent vintage, this time the Corbin shows intensity and concentration of red and dark fruits with the signature ripe plum and bramble berries, but the savoury herbs, as well as the leather notes, are still present making the wine's lasting finish a wonderfully complex one.
FOOD PAIRING
Dry-aged beef fillet Wellington with porcini duxelles, braised beef cheek with harissa.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A beautiful wine, the first vintage produced under the new owners, with Hubert de Bouard (owner of Chateau Angelus) as Consultant Oenologist.
