2023 Chateau Saint-André Corbin Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

ABOUT THE WINE

Château Saint-André Corbin is produced in the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation, located just north of the famed village of Saint-Émilion. The vineyards benefit from clay-limestone soils similar to those found in neighboring Grand Cru sites, providing ideal conditions for Merlot, which forms the backbone of the blend, complemented by Cabernet Franc for aromatic lift and structure.

The estate focuses on careful vineyard management and traditional Bordeaux craftsmanship, harvesting fruit at optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and balance. Vinification emphasizes gentle extraction to showcase purity of fruit, followed by maturation that develops complexity while maintaining the wine’s approachable, terroir-driven style.

The 2023 vintage delivers a vibrant expression of the Right Bank, combining juicy notes of black raspberry, red plum, cassis, licorice, tobacco leaf, and sweet spice with a fresh mineral backbone. Its combination of elegance, moderate structure, and silky texture makes it enjoyable in its youth while allowing for several years of development. Pair with roasted poultry, herb-crusted lamb, grilled meats, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and aged cheeses.
