Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, Grand Cru Classé

Gironde, Gironde - France

The winery

Always in Saint-Emilion, winegrowers for centuries, at Grand Corbin-Despagne for over 200 years. Although the origins of the vineyard can be dated back "only" two centuries, the very first trace of the Despagne family in Saint-Emilion goes back more than 500 years. Since then, each generation has made a name for itself in the vineyards, eventually becoming winegrowers themselves. François Despagne, the seventh generation at the helm, is delighted every day to work the land of his ancestors and to have to deal with a terroir that is both unique and varied. His curiosity and commitment led him to convert the vineyard to organic farming in 2004, an intuitive choice that respects the ecosystem where six generations had lived before him. The Grand Corbin-Despagne vineyard, located on the Grand Corbin plateau and planted in characteristic blue clay soils, produces fresh, elegant wines that develop over time.

    Très belle visite ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis par le propriétaire François Despagne avant de continuer la visite avec Virgine qui fut passionnante. Et pour finir, une très bonne dégustation. Je recommande ! Yoann

  • A incredible time !

    by for Privileged visit (Tour and tasting) on 08/19/2025

    We had a wonderful experience with Beatrice as she hosted us for the wine tasting workshop. Not only did she do an excellent job teaching us during the wine tasting workshop, but she also educated us on the wines of St Emilion and surrounding area. Her passion for all aspects of wine, from growing grapes to making wine, is infectious in a good way and made the workshop so special. Beatrice's english is excellent and she answered all of our questions. I am still a novice wine taster, but now I feel as if I know what I'm doing when I taste a wine for the first time and maybe even appreciate the wine I'm tasting for what it is.

  • Wonderful tour !

    by for Privileged visit (Tour and tasting) on 08/18/2025

    We really enjoyed the experience: the tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well and answered any questions - we found the tour very informative without being overwhelmed! The wine selection was great and we didn't feel pressure to purchase (although we will be) The Estate itself was very well maintained and well kept. A very enjoyable experience !

  • super visite et un super guide

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 08/14/2025

    C'est très agréable d'apprendre l'histoire du raisin et tout le processus. Le guide était super. Merci beaucoup.

  • Très belle visite et très bonne dégustation

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 08/13/2025

    Mon frère et moi travaillions tout les deux dans le vin, alors la guide a adapté la visite pour nous, en ajoutant des détails techniques et spécifiques. Nous avons pu déguster 3 vins donc un millésime 2016 ce qui était vraiment intéressant de voir le potentiel d'évolution de ces vins. Un expérience géniale, nous recommandons !

  • Top visite

  • Very nice

    by for Privileged visit (Tour and tasting) on 08/08/2025

    We had a wonderful tour and a great tasting. The wines were fantastic. They took their time with us. We even visited some of the grapevines for some explanation. Highly recommended!

  • Wine Tasting at Grand Corbin Despagne

    by for Tasting of 3 wines (Tasting) on 06/18/2025

    Really enjoyable wine tasting experience by a knowledgeable host in a beautiful setting. Good value as if you bought wine the price of the tasting was taken off. Would recommend, always best to visit the vineyards that do the better wines and this was one of them.

  • Super de A à Z

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 06/06/2025

    Un accueil chaleureux et des explications très claires. Le petit plus est qu'il y a un espace pour les enfants, c'est bien pensé. Nous avons dégusté quatre vins, un de plus que prévu, c'est une belle attention. On a beaucoup aimé les vins du château.

  • C'était parfait !

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 05/06/2025

    Tout s'est très bien passé, c'était tout simplement parfait de la dégustation à la visite. On peut que conseiller !

  • Parfait

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 05/05/2025

    Parfait sur toute la ligne. On était entre amis et collègues, dont certains étrangers qui en sont sortis ravis. Ils ont très bien réussi à être pédagogue tout en restant simple. Les vins qu'on a pu goûter nous ont convaincu.

  • What a Great Experience!

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 04/29/2025

    This tour and tasting was a fantastic experience. Virgine, our english-speaking guide, was so knowledgable and explained the whole wine-making process really well. We were independent travellers with a vehicle and decided to stay away from the group tours from Bordeaux. We weren't wrong in that decision for sure. Wine available to buy afterwards and they had credit card facilities too. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the tour cost. 28/04/2025

  • Guide exceptionnelle et visite très intéressante

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 01/10/2025

    Nous avons visité le vignoble le 07 décembre dernier. Nous en gardons un excellent souvenir. Mention spéciale pour la guide passionnée qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer toute l'histoire du domaine mais également plus généralement du vignoble bordelais. Un grand merci pour sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité et son accueil. La visite du domaine était passionnante, nous avons énormément appris. Les vins étaient de très grande qualité, nous avons ressenti le travail méticuleux et scientifique de Monsieur Despagne. Un grand merci pour cette visite. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

  • Phenomenal tour and tasting

    by for Discovering an organic family estate (Tour and tasting) on 05/04/2024

    We had a wonderful tour and tasting earlier today. We have spent almost a week in Bordeaux and visited several chateaux in the Medoc, Entre-du-Mers, and Saint Emilion regions, and this was our favorite. The tour started in the vineyard, with a lot of detail on the vines, terroir, and growing process. We then moved into the vat room and the cellar, and had a very engaging presentation of the winemaking process. The tour finished with a tasting of the first and second wines. The first wine, Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne, was one of the best we have tried so far. We were thrilled to learn that the wine was distributed to our area of the US in Wegmans, and are looking forward to buying a case to progressively taste it over the years as it ages. We visited while bottling was ongoing and it was very interesting to see the workings of the winery while we visited. Overall, this was a phenomenal tour that we would highly recommend!
