Dark berry richness pulses through Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne 2020, layered with cassis, cocoa and gentle spice, while fine but assertive tannins give it a firm, juicy frame. The wine is both powerful and refined, showing impressive depth that will gain nuance with a few more years in bottle.

Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé crafted primarily from Merlot with Cabernet Franc on the blue clays and sandy glacis of the Grand Corbin plateau, near the Pomerol border. Long farmed by the Despagne family and now organically grown, it typically shows supple, red- and black-fruited perfume with floral notes, evolving to truffle and spice, carried by velvety tannins that allow it to drink well in youth yet age gracefully.
