The Château Grand Corbin "Les Charmes de Grand Corbin" 2020 is the elegant second wine of Château Grand Corbin, a distinguished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate situated on the prestigious Corbin plateau, bordering the renowned Pomerol appellation. More than a typical second label, Les Charmes de Grand Corbin is crafted primarily from a dedicated 8-hectare vineyard with vines averaging 50 years of age, producing a wine that reflects the same meticulous viticulture and winemaking philosophy as the Grand Vin. The estate's blue clay terroir contributes freshness, structure, silky tannins, and excellent ageing potential.
The 2020 vintage is recognised as one of Bordeaux's finest recent vintages, combining outstanding concentration with remarkable freshness and balance. Crafted predominantly from Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes are hand-harvested and vinified in temperature-controlled vats before ageing in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is generous, polished, and expressive, delivering ripe fruit alongside refined oak integration and classic Saint-Émilion elegance.
Tasting Notes
Colour:
Deep ruby red with brilliant purple-garnet reflections.
Nose:
Expressive aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, vanilla, mocha, cedar, subtle leather, and toasted oak with hints of sweet spice.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with layers of blackcurrant, black cherry, ripe plum, dark chocolate, liquorice, espresso, and baking spice. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a mineral backbone create a beautifully balanced and approachable Bordeaux.
Finish:
Long, elegant, and persistent with lingering dark fruits, cocoa, cedar, truffle, and refined oak spice.
