Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne

warmed and more developed than the other wines I tasted

Powerful and refined is not something you see often

This too flashes discreet wood influence on the spicier and more floral-suffused aromas

This monumental offering

Corbin other_regions Pinot Noir from Montagne deBased on an 80 20 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2009 Chteau Corbin sports a still youthful ruby plum color to go with gorgeous aromas and flavors of red and black currants, spring flowers, green tobacco, white truffle, and some obvious mineral like nuances. Upfront, beautifully textured, and elegant, this powerful yet pure, noble Saint Emilion is going to continue drinking beautifully for at least another decade. Bravo!
