A fine September had the whole region expecting a great year, and then on 8 October the rain arrived and did not stop. Médoc estates still waiting on the last of their Cabernet were caught in it. Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, where Merlot ripens earlier and most growers had already brought the crop in, made excellent wine. This bottle is from the right side of that line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrand Corbin-Despagne has been in the same family since 1812, with the Despagnes now into their seventh generation. It sits on the Corbin plateau in the north of Saint-Émilion, close to the Pomerol boundary, where sand over clay gives a rounder, more forward style. It was a Grand Cru Classé in 1964, lost the rank in the 1996 revision and won it back in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt sixty-two years this is an old wine from a good harvest at an estate that has never been fashionable — the only reason a properly aged classed growth is still available at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Grand Corbin d'Espagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saint-Émilion AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fill is good and the vintage was kind on the Right Bank, so this may well still be drinking, though as a pre-1990 bottle it is sold as a collectible without a guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e For a sixty-second birthday, or a 2026 retirement gift for someone born in 1964 who would rather have their own year than a grander one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e The label is very slightly marked from cellar storage and the wine stands between very top shoulder and the base of the neck, which is a strong fill for a bottle of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
