Grand Corbin, Grand Cru Classé

In 1986, the SMA Group (Mutual Insurance Company for Construction and Civil Engineering) purchased Château Haut Corbin, followed by Grand Corbin in 2010. Two years later, on 6 September 2012, both domaines were promoted to Grand Cru Classé status and were authorised by the INAO to be united under the name, Château Grand Corbin.

This was a logical decision in light of their shared past, geographical proximity and geological similarities. As Hubert de Boüard, consultant oenologist at the estate since 2006, reminds us: ‘It's basically a reconnection with history. We are respecting the truth.’
