2024 Château Grand Corbin Despagne

The 2024 Grand Corbin Despagne has a nicely composed and harmonious nose, with pretty red fruit and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied, graceful and poised, with light tannins, gentle grip and a minerally finish. - Neal Martin (04/2025)

Good depth for the vintage. This almost tastes quite complete at this stage. Dark chocolate, dark cherries and berries. Fresh, firm tannins on the palate with medium body, juicy fruit and a nice length. - Zekun Shuai (04/2025)

Coming from the northern part of Saint-Émilion, the 2024 Château Grand Corbin Despagne is a blend of 84% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Darker berries, juicy cassis, violets, and spicy oak all emerge from this beauty, and it's medium-bodied, with a pretty, pure, elegant mouthfeel, plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.

The 2024 Grand Corbin-Despagne is a strong effort, offering up aromas of sweet berries and new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and lively palate with good depth and density. - William Kelley (04/2025)
