Layers of black cherry, cassis and ripe raspberry give the 2021 Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne a generous, succulent core, wrapped in creamy notes of cocoa, spice and a touch of toasted oak. Medium to full in body yet refined, it shows polished tannins, lively acidity and a subtle saline-mineral edge that keeps the finish long and mouthwatering. This is a graceful, modern-leaning Saint-Émilion that still speaks clearly of its soil.

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.
