Red dry
As it delicately fills the glass, the eye is first charmed by anelegant, ebony-dark color with mahogany notes. Next are the aromas showing spicy touches and a hint of oak, which then develop in the mouth to fully reveal peppery, piquant flavors. Abundant sunshine during the summer of 2015 ripened the grapes on this very warm terroir adjoining Pomerol,producing silky and graceful tannins. Of note are smoky, meaty aromas that are typical of Saint-Emilion, and an accompanying lively finish that offers additional freshness and pleasure. Decant before serving with roasts, duck, stews and preserved meats, but those who wait several years will not be disappointed.

The 2015 Grand Corbin Manuel is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon matured in 60% new oak. It has a fresh, classic Saint Emilion bouquet, very fresh and delineated, attractive sous-bois aromas emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, nothing ambitious or extraordinary, but here is a classic, almost old fashioned Saint Emilion that will be absolutely delicious when bottled.
