Falstaff: 92 Punkte 

"Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Dark heart cherries, blackberry confit, inviting bouquet, delicate nougat underlay. Elegant, medium complexity, sweet cherries, ripe tannins, mineral and persistent, versatile." 

- Peter Moser (04/2026)

Yves Beck: 96-97 Punkte 

"Das Bouquet von Grand Corbin-Despagne offenbart sich mit außergewöhnlicher Präzision, wobei offensichtlich viel Wert auf die zahlreichen Details gelegt wurde und die Harmonie im Mittelpunkt steht! Die Reifung, die blumigen, fruchtigen und würzigen Nuancen, die Frische und das Terroir bilden eine gelassene und begeisternde Einheit. Am Gaumen besticht der Wein durch seinen samtenen Auftakt und seine seidige Textur. Er ist vollmundig, hat Eleganz und profitiert von der makellosen Unterstützung durch Tannine von seltener Präzision, die sowohl Kraft als auch Finesse fördern. Alles ist bestens aufeinander abgestimmt, und der Wein muss nur noch seinen Weg zur Exzellenz fortsetzen, um sich mit Sicherheit in der „Hall of Fame“ des Weinguts zu positionieren. 2030-2055" (04/2026)


Jane Anson: 92 Punkte 

"Tannins muscular and knitted down, good quality, clear cassis bud and liquorice root, espresso as it opens, one that is going to take its time, plenty of concentration and promise under some slightly sharp acidities. Harvest September 8 to 17. 35% new oak. Yield 22 hl/ha. 3.68 pH. François Despagne the 7th generation, his 30th vintage." (04/2026)


Decanter: 93 Punkte 

"Lovely balanced aromas plum, red berry fruit, fresh earth, lead to a palate of minty freshness with just ripe juicy plum and spice: a wine that has elegance and ripeness, medium bodied, medium finish, juiciness but also structured. Tasted twice with similar results. Nice Job!" - Panos Kakaviatos (04/2026)


Vinum: 95 Punkte 

"Tiefgründig, nobel, mit Rosmarinwürze, floralen Noten, Kirschen und schwarzen Johannisbeeren, untermalt von mineralischen Nuancen; am Gaumen straff, fokussiert, druckvoll, bleibt elegant, die Frucht ist knackig, wird von perfekt reifen Tanninen gekontert, voller Leben und mit langem, salzigem Finale auf dunkle und rote Beeren. Ein frischer Wein von eindrücklicher Präsenz, dabei nie dominant. Einer der besten Cru Classé!" - Adrian van Velsen (04/2026)

The 2025 Grand Corbin Despagne has a ripe, showy and very plummy bouquet, more floral in style than some of its peers, well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and slightly candied black fruit. It just misses some delineation and restraint on the finish, which needs more bandwidth. Perhaps that will develop during barrel maturation? Possibly.

A classic St. Emilion with blueberry and raspberry character and limestone undertones giving it chalkiness. Medium-bodied with a lightly chewy finish. (04/2026)

Darker berries, leafy herbs, liquid violets, and ample graphite all define the 2025 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, a blend of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon raised in 35% new barrels, 35% one-year-old barrels, 10% 400-liter barrels, and 10% amphora. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's focused and nicely balanced, with integrated tannins. It was a touch reserved and understated on both occasions I was able to taste it, yet it should certainly be outstanding, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it show more character once bottled. It checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.68. (05/2026)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Grand Corbin-Despagne sails out with energetic notes of crushed black cherries and red currants, followed by hints of rose water, fertile loam, and cedar. The medium-bodied palate is lightly chewy and refreshing with bright, lively black and red fruit flavors and a long, earthy finish. (04/2026)

The 2025 Grand Corbin-Despagne offers up aromas of dark berries, licorice and creamy new oak, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that exhibits ripe tannins and attractive balance. If it can digest its cooperage with élevage, it may merit a higher score.
