Château CorbinXX de Corbin Saint-Émilion 2014 Bordeaux,France
Made predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Saint-Émilion wines tend to have a rich, mouth-drying tannic structure, which is balanced by the more juicy characteristics of plum and black cherry fruit, along with chocolate and sweet spice, developing savory tobacco and cedar characteristics with age.
The best Saint-Émilion wines will exhibit a terrific mineral vein, the result of vines being planted on the region’s limestone escarpment. Vines planted on sandy soils tend to produce grapes that make lighter styled wines.
Situated on the right bank of Bordeaux, the region of Saint-Émilion can boast of producing the most diverse range of styles, partly due to differences in soil types, from gravel to limestone to sand, but also thanks to production variations and winemakers looking to make their mark.
Chateau Corbin has been run by Anabelle Cruse-Bardinet, an oenology graduate of the University of Bordeaux, since 1999. The vineyard occupies a single 13-hectare piece of land in the village of Saint-Emilion, bordering the Pomerol appellation.
With a nose as charming as estate manager Annabelle Cruse, the violet, licorice and black cherry aromas are a pleasure. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, fresh, soft and sweet with a black raspberry and thyme finish. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13% alcohol and will be aged in 40% new, French oak barrels.
Tasting notes: Blueberry, tabacco, blackberry, oak, black cherry, plum, cassis, dark fruit
Nose: currant, blackberry, Mocha, Clove, mushroom and leather
