Corbin Castle

Château Corbin. Annabelle Cruse Bardinet, a qualified oenologist and a young wine maker, inherited the magnificent Girondine property from her grandmother with 13 hectares of vines on land that sits at the edge of the Pomerol region. The origins of Château Corbin go back to the fifteenth century when it is thought to have been one of the Black Prince’s strongholds. Annabelle follows traditional cultivation methods and produces two blends as sensible and elegant as she is. The first wine, Château Corbin Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is produced from older vines and is powerful and velvety. The second wine, the Corbin, is produced from young vines and is as a result punchier and fresher on the notes of fruit. Visits by appointment. www.chateau-corbin.com
