Tasting notes
Medium-bodied, silky, fresh and energetic, the supple-textured wine is packed with flowers and sweet, ripe, elegant, red fruits with notes of licorice, dark cocoa and espresso in the endnote. Give it a year or two for the oak to become better integrated. Drink from 2024-2038.

Black raspberries, ripe cherries, spicy oak, and chocolaty nuances all emerge from the 2020 Château Grand Corbin, a plump, round, sexy 2020 offering plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This incredibly charming, pure, yet still concentrated Saint-Emilion is ideal for drinking over the coming 15 years or more.
The 2020 Grand Corbin has a light, menthol-tinged bouquet that doesn't quite deliver the complexity of its peers. The palate is a little chewy on the entry and firm in the mouth, with sour cherry and orange rind notes towards the finish.
Attractive aromas of ripe dark fruit, vanilla, cardamom and chocolate. Some nutmeg, too. Medium- to full-bodied with polished tannins and creamy texture. Refined and silky with a velvety core of ripe blackberries and hints of walnut to close. Drink from 2025.
