Grand Corbin-Despagne 2015 - Saint-Emilion

CHÂTEAU GRAND CORBIN-DESPAGNE 2015 - SAINT EMILION

The Despagne family has owned the Château for more than two centuries. It is now the seventh generation who runs it, with François DEspagne.

Since 1996, the cultivation of the vine is carried out in reasoned and integrated agriculture, they have received AFAQ-AFNOR certification since 2005. No herbicide has ever been used.

In 2004, they began working the vineyard in organic farming before switching the entire estate to this principle. Thus in 2013 they obtained the "Organic Wine" certification. They go even further, since since 2018, test plots have been cultivated biodynamically.

They are also HVE 3 certified.

The 2015 vintage is the 204th vintage produced by the DEspagne family.
