Château Grand Corbin

Vineyard blend

Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page.

The wine

The Corbin vineyard stretches in a single block over 13 hectares planted in the commune of Saint-Émilion, on the edge of the Pomerol appellation.

Terroir

Soil of silica on blue clay, with very different terroir identities.
