This blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is coquettish and sexy. Sporting a nose of blackberries, plums, lead pencil and spice, the palate shows all that with the addition of meaty tones, dark chocolate, and currants. Long finishing and textured, enjoy this wine (decanting helps!) now through 2030
Domaine du Château Haut Corbin was purchased in 1986 and at the time covered 30 acres of vines, 15 acres of which were adjoining land. When 38 acres of land belonging to the neighbouring Château Grand Corbin were put up for sale in 2010, this was a fantastic opportunity for Château Haut Corbin.
... The two estates’ soil types and textures are very similar and both are formed of wind-carried sand over a deep layer of clay, a type of soil that provides the Merlot with perfect growing conditions. Some areas of the Grand Corbin vineyards are composed of blue clay which is similar to that of the famous circle of blue clay situated in the world famous neighbouring appellation.
In 2012 the estate also acquired a further 10 acres, from Château Le Jurat, ....as well as 8 acres of vines surrounded by the Grand Corbin vineyards derived from a friendly acquisition from another of the estate’s neighbours. This resulted in homogenous land holdings, all originating from a large, historical seigneurial estate formerly composed of all of the historic ‘Corbins’.
