Vineyard

The vineyards of Château Grand Corbin-Despagne are located in the north of Saint-Emilion, close to Pomerol. They comprise just under 29 hectares of plots planted with 6,000 to 8,000 vines per hectare. The average age of the vines is 15 years, yielding 42 hl per hectare. Green harvesting is practiced. The soil consists of calcareous sand over a subsoil of iron oxide and old sand mixed with clay. The estate has held organic farming certification since 2013, meaning no herbicides are used.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked and then transported in small crates to the winery. The grapes undergo no less than 5 selections. During the combined fermentation and maceration, the wine is gently pumped over several times. 50% of the wine matures in 2-year-old oak barrels, the other half matures in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled 21 months after the harvest.
