The winery is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). Five estates with the Corbin part of the name, which today lie close together, once belonged to a single estate whose origins date back to the 15th century. According to legend, the area bordering Pomerol once belonged to Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), Prince of Wales and known as the "Black Prince". After a chequered history with many owners, it finally came into the ownership of the current owners in 1924. It has been managed by Anabelle Cruse-Bardinet since 1999. The estate is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover 13 hectares of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 16 to 18 months in barriques, one third of which are new.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
