This Grand Corbin-Despagne is balanced between richness and restraint. Merlot brings plush fruit and roundness, while Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift and structure. The wine reflects its clay-limestone terroir through depth, freshness and polished tannins, offering a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru that feels confident, composed and true to its origins. It is a wine that rewards both immediate enjoyment and patient cellaring.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with youthful brightness. The nose is refined and layered, offering black cherry, plum and ripe red berries, complemented by violet, subtle spice and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, the wine is smooth and finely textured — juicy dark fruit, gentle savoury notes and a mineral backbone unfold across polished tannins. Fresh acidity carries the wine into a long, harmonious finish with lingering finesse.
Food Pairing
This Saint-Émilion pairs effortlessly with dishes that highlight richness and texture. It shines alongside roast lamb, duck breast, veal, mushroom-based dishes and herb-roasted poultry. Its silky tannins also make it a natural match for soft to semi-aged cheeses, enhancing both casual dinners and more formal occasions.
Description
Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is one of Saint-Émilion’s quietly distinguished estates, known for marrying tradition with thoughtful modernisation. Situated close to the Pomerol boundary, the vineyard benefits from clay-rich soils that give depth and generosity, balanced by limestone freshness.
The 2021 vintage emphasises precision over power. Careful selection and restrained winemaking have resulted in a wine that is poised, aromatic and beautifully balanced — a classic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru shaped by elegance rather than excess.
