Description

A full-bodied and well-structured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wine

The estate
Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is ideally located in the northwest of the Saint-Émilion plateau, adjacent to the Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank. The estate was founded in the late 18th century. This 2019 vintage is the 208th by the Despagne family at this estate.

The vineyard
The vineyard of Château Grand Corbin-Despagne covers nearly 29 hectares in the Saint-Émilion appellation. The 39-year-old vines benefit from clay-sandy soils resting on an iron pan and ancient sandy soils over clay.

Winemaking and aging
The wine is aged in barrels (50% new, 40% one-year-old and 10% two-year-old).

Blend
75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.
