Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

James Suckling

This has aromas of cocoa, walnuts and black cherries, mingling with sandalwood and spices. It’s full-bodied, polished and structured, with firm, slightly dusty tannins. Chewy, concentrated finish. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2028.

Vinous Media

A real sense of intent on the nose here, with well-defined black summer fruits, black raspberry, black pepper, rose petals and a touch of dark chocolate. This is followed by a deliciously precise and driven style on the palate, juicy and fresh, filled out with fragrant summer fruits, rose and peony, with touches of coffee bean and chocolate, all resting on a fine-boned tannic structure and lively acidity. Gloriously fresh, with a lightly bitter, tannin-gripped finish, long and convincing, this is a lovely wine from François Despagne which should evolve beautifully.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Grand Corbin-Despagne is ripe and generous, bursting with aromas of sweet berries, plums and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a suave, gourmand profile, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is another inky-hued, powerful Saint-Emilion in the vintage. Possessing a pure, nicely oaked nose of ripe red, blue, and black fruits as well as sappy flowers, violets, and graphite, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a juicy, lively mouthfeel, nicely polished tannins, and outstanding length. It offers ample pleasure today yet will have 15-20 years of overall longevity.
