Château Corbiac 2012 & 2013

Antoine de Corbiac, who has joined his mother Thérèse on the estate, represents the… seventeenth generation on the domaine, a family related to Cyrano de Bergerac. The 16.5-hectare vineyard, ideally perched on the crest of the Pécharmant hillside, is a long-standing Bergerac landmark.

Number one 2012
Deep garnet, this 2012, which spent twelve months in barrel, reveals powerful, engaging scents of black fruit, then toast, truffle and toast, as well as a hint of animal. Round and concentrated on the palate, with a tannic structure that’s still young but not aggressive. An elegant, oaky finish prolongs the pleasure of tasting. A wine built to last.

Number one 2013
