Acquired in 1960 by Mr. Alain Giraud, Château Grand Corbin was then passed on to his son Philippe until the estate was acquired by the MBTP group (Mutuelle du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics) in 2011. In 2012, at the end of the in the new classification of Saint-Emilion, its neighbor, Château Haut-Corbin, obtained the same rank as Grand Corbin. This is how the two adjoining estates, located a stone's throw from the Pomerol appellation, decided to unite. Since the 2012 harvest, the Châteaux Haut-Corbin and Grand Corbin have become one and bear the name of Château Grand-Corbin. Philippe Dambrine is now at the head of the Château. Meticulous care is taken in the work of the vines, and green harvests are carried out during the summer. The manual harvest is followed by a strict sorting before the vinification operations, which take place in a vat room built in 2002, at the cutting edge of technology because it was designed according to the "gravity" concept. Aging, during which press wine and free-run wine are aged separately, lasts 13 to 18 months in barrels renewed by thirds each year. Bottling follows after the traditional fining operations, but without filtration. Merlot, the main grape variety, gives it roundness and balance, while the high proportion of Cabernet Franc present in the blend gives it, like its neighbor Figeac, a rich and concentrated fruitiness. Château Grand Corbin produces wines of great finesse, to be tasted within ten years of the vintage.
