Chateau Corbin, Michotte, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2018, France

Style: Red, Dry, Medium to Full-bodied
Grape varieties: Merlot 65%, Cabernet Franc 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%
Region: Saint-Emilion, France.
A vineyard of 7 hectares bordering Pomerol on a unique terroir comprised of a sandy-lime topsoil resting on ‘crasse de fer’ (the famous iron-rich clay subsoil).
Different from the other wines of this part of the appellation, neighbouring Pomerol.
Vinification: manual with successive sorts, maturing/aging on fine lees for 18-24 months. 40 % to 60 % in new barrels and concrete vats
Tasting Notes: Balance, Great depth of color with purple blue highlights, with aromas of fruit and spices, with tannins very present but a great finesse. The wine is matured for 18 to 24 months in new barrels and stainless steel tanks. The nose is a quintessence of very complex red fruits. In the mouth it's just pleasure. Very round, ripe tannins are present but remain pleasant without any astringency. Continue to improve for over 30 years.

Vintage 2018 is one of the top vintages. A touch sweet on the nose and the palate – the fresh raspberry and mulberry fruit With air, vanilla and caramel notes
