A refined and silky Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
The estate
The Château Corbin Michotte was once a large feudal domain. In the Saint-Émilion appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux, Château Corbin Michotte has been elevated to the rank of Grand Cru over its centuries-old history.
The vineyard
The 7-hectare vineyard of Château Corbin Michotte is located on the gravelly plateau north of Saint-Émilion, bordering Pomerol. The vines are on average 50 years old. The vineyard even includes a century-old parcel. The vines are planted on brown-grey sandy-silty soils over a very iron-rich sandy-clay subsoil with gravel on the surface. This vineyard thus stands out for its high content of trace elements and barium.
Winemaking and aging
Manual harvesting. Hand sorting on a sorting table. Temperature-controlled fermentation. Extended maceration. Native yeasts. Aging for 22 to 24 months in stainless steel tanks (60%) and barrels (40%).
Blend
This 2018 Château Corbin Michotte is the result of a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
