PETIT CORBIN DESPAGNE - 2ND CHATEAU WINE

Grape Variety

Appellation: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux

Comment

Le Petit Corbin d’Espagne is made from the young vines of the Grand Cru Classé Château Grand Corbin d’Espagne. In Bordeaux, it is common practice to create a first cuvée from old vines and a second wine, such as Le Petit Corbin d’Espagne, from young vines. This approach tends to produce second wines that are fruitier, open up more quickly, and are generally more affordable.

Tasting notes

Le Petit Corbin d’Espagne, grown using organic farming methods, is characterised by its suppleness and freshness rather than marked power. It’s a good choice for those who wish to discover the fine cuvées of Saint-Émilion without breaking the bank.

Food pairing

When it comes to food pairings, it’s quite simple as Le Petit Corbin d’Espagne is moderately powerful. A Beef Stroganoff accompanied by sautéed potatoes and caramelised onions would be a wise choice. For a vegetarian option, marinated tofu steaks with mashed potatoes are also a good match.
