Tasting notes
A finesse-driven, elegant wine in the vintage, the 2021 Château Corbin (90/10 Merlot and Cabernet Franc) offers up a pretty, perfumed bouquet of crisp strawberries, framboise, rose petals, and flowers. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. This is one of those wines that grows on you with time in the glass and will put a smile on your face any time over the coming 10-12 years.

The 2021 Corbin is a very pretty Saint-Émilion. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, cinnamon, cedar, new leather and tobacco give the 2021 lovely aromatic presence to match its understated, mid-weight personality. This is all class.
The 2021 Corbin matured in some 20% new oak, a few old barrels, cement tanks and wine globes. Unwinding in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of wild berries, spices, petals and vine smoke, it's medium-bodied, supple and charming, in a perfumed, middle-weight style.
The 2021 Corbin offers slightly rustic red fruit on the nose, and there’s a little iodine in the mix. The palate is medium-bodied, a bit green on the entry, and rather labored and dry on the finish.
