Château Corbin Description
Chateau Corbin is one of the oldest estates in Saint-Emilion. The foundations of the Chateau date back to the 15th century, and according to legend, Corbin was the focal point of a stronghold that belonged to the Black Prince.
Built in the middle of the 19th century, Corbin was purchased in 1924 by the great-grandparents of the current owners.
Since 1999, the estate is managed by Anabelle Cruse-Bardinet, a Bordeaux University enology graduate, who represents the 4th generation of the family.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2020 Corbin is a very elegant, precise wine. Silky, beautifully perfumed and light on its feet, it impresses with its purity and guile. The Corbin is not an obvious Saint-Émilion; rather, it is a wine that is all finesse. Crushed berry fruit, spice, mint, blood orange and cedar are all laced together. This is such a classy, polished wine. -Antonio Galloni
James Suckling: 94 Points
Blueberries and blackberries with smoke and tar undertones. Mushrooms. Full-bodied with layers of ripe tannins and a juicy and fruity finish. Plenty going on with real St.-Emilion character.
