Grand Corbin Despagne
Château Grand Corbin Despagne is a Grand Cru Classé property located in the north of Saint-Émilion, adjacent to Pomerol. Located not far from Cheval Blanc, the estate was one of Cheval Blanc’s tenant farmers in the early 19th Century. Gaining independence after the French Revolution, the Despagne family established Château Grand Corbin Despagne in 1812 and the tie remains unbroken until this day. A boutique family estate with a long history, the size of the property accounts for 26 ha only. Grand Corbin Despagne is now under the watchful eye of François Despagne, the 7th generation of the family.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92+)Dark cherry, plum, lavender and violet are some of the notes that open up in the 2014 Grand Corbin Despagne. Medium in body, with a classic sense of structure and plenty of tannin, the 2014 is built for cellaring. It shows quite a bit more overall intensity today than it did as a barrel sample, which is quite positive for its long-term prospects. |

Wine Enthusiast (93-95)Powerful tannins and ripe fruits are the main characters here. With a solid, foursquare character, it is generous and opulent. Tannins and concentration are all there, resulting in a wine with serious aging potential. |

Jancis Robinson (17)Full bottle 1,310 g. Cask sample taken 7 April. Certified organic. Extremely deep, dark purple. Much subtler, deeper nose than many of its peers. You can be convinced that there are hidden depths here. Intense, ripe, supple purple-fruit flavours – even some very ripe cassis – and very persistent. This has the richness of late-20th-century St-Émilion but also has great freshness. Palate-coating with quite a charge of ripe tannins underneath. Impressive. 14.8% |
