Histoire du domaine
Château Corbin has belonged to Anabelle Cruse Bardinet's family since it was acquired by her great-grandparents in 1924. Management of the estate has been passed down from mother to daughter across four generations. Classified as a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé since 1955, Corbin has maintained this rank without interruption. In 1999, oenologist Anabelle Cruse Bardinet took over the management and moved onto the property with her family. Starting in 2000, she initiated a restructuring of the vineyard as well as a thorough renovation of the estate and its facilities. This transformation continued in 2016 with the construction of a plot-by-plot vat room consisting of 18 small, temperature-controlled raw concrete vats. In 2024, Château Corbin celebrated the centenary of its family acquisition.
