Château Saint-André Corbin is a historic winery located in the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation, a satellite of the famous Saint-Émilion region in Bordeaux. The estate's history dates back to the 4th century, with historical records suggesting its wines were served to Roman emperors. Today, the estate is owned and managed by the Saby family, producing a Bordeaux blend predominantly of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that is praised for its elegant, fruit-forward style and impressive quality for its value.

"Fresh plums, red cherries and fine spices follow through to a medium-bodied palate with firm, dusty tannins and a dissolved, medium-long finish. Not a vertical wine that seeks depth but very balanced and pleasant."
