Description
Dating back to 1852, Grand Corbin is located not far from the Pomerol border, and the vineyards are mostly sand with clay and bits of iron in the soil. The vines are an average age of 40 years old. Elevated to Grand Cru status in 2012, this Chateau has always been an under-the-radar overperformer, but these days, the world is taking notice (check out the scores!). With winemaking legend Hubert de Bouard from the prestigious Chateau Angelus consulting, it’s hard to go wrong at our SENSATIONAL price today!
Just these 276 bottles in stock at $39.95. We popped a bottle last night and WOW – definitely drinking like a young, powerful youth right now, and plenty of upside if you hold on for a few years! Rich, dense, flowery and packed with extract and cool spices, like licorice and mint, even a touch of espresso. Awesome! While it lasts!
