Les Charmes de Grand Corbin 2011 Saint Èmilion, Bordeaux – France

Les Charmes de Grand Corbin 2011 Saint Èmilion, Bordeaux – France (2nd wine of Château Corbin)

About– The Corbin name is associated with six estates as a result of the division of the ancient, feudal vineyard in north-western Saint-Emilion, bordering Pomerol. Two of these, Château Haut Corbin and Château Grand Corbin, reunited on New Year’s Eve in 2010, making the 2011 vintage the debut of the new estate.

Blend/Grape Varietal– 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes– The wine displays a deep and pronounced colour, showing raspberry and blueberry aromas. The attack is soft and flavourful, the tannins smooth, and the overall impression is of a clean and fruity wine with supple elegance.
