Petit Corbin-Despagne was created to satisfy the needs of private customers in search of a fruit-driven wine that would be perfect for informal parties and also to meet the demands of on-trade customers who wished to offer their clients a wine that could be enjoyed young. As from the magnificent 1998 vintage, precision work based on our terroir studies was undertaken to fine-tune selection of plots. Petit Corbin-Despagne is a selection of lots coming from vines of 10 to 20 years old which will in the future provide the grapes of Grand Corbin-Despagne, once these plots are over 20 years old. This special plot selection aims to bring out attractive fresh fruit and smooth tannins in the wine.
