Château Grand Corbin

Producer description of "Château Grand Corbin"

The winery is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). Five closely-spaced estates with the Corbin part of the name 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". The estate, owned by the Giraud family, was sold to the SMABTP insurance group in 2010 and merged with Château Le Jurat. In 2012, it was merged with its sister vineyard Château Haut-Corbin, also owned by SMABTP, meaning that the classification of Château Haut-Corbin became obsolete. The expanded estate was classified as a Grand Cru Classé in 2012. The vineyards now cover 28.5 hectares and are planted with Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (25%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The red wine matures for 12 months in 50% new barriques and is bottled without filtration. Around 150,000 bottles of wine are produced each year.
