"The nose displays lively, mineral laced orchard fruit and floral aromas, with hints of toasty lees and white pepper emerging with aeration. Chewy and dry on the palate, offering bitter pear skin, melon and Meyer lemon flavors and a hint of licorice. Stretches out on a finish that hangs on with strong stony intensity." - Winery
Third generation winegrower Claude Corbon began bottling his family wines under his own label in 1971, shortly after taking over the estate. The wines of Corbon have and continue to fly under the radar of most drinkers and connoisseurs, they are a tiny estate that haven’t changed much since the beginning. Claude did all fermentations in stainless or lined cement, the wine spent extended amounts of time on the lees in bottle under crown, and have never been fined or filtered.
