Located on Rive droite of Bordeaux, Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is loaded with history. The first written records of Famille DESPAGNE date back to 1665, but it was not until the end of the 18th century that the first vineyards appeared on this land called Grand Corbin and adjoining Saint-Emilion.
