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 an 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". The vineyard in question has been owned by Jean Noël Boidron since 1959. Formerly classified as a Grand Cru Classé, the estate was declassified in 2012. The vineyards cover seven hectares and are planted with Merlot (65%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 to 18 months in new barriques. The second wine is called "Les Abeilles".
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
