酒莊Chateau Grand Corbin Manuel (格蘭科賓曼紐爾)位於著名產區Saint Emilion (聖埃美倫)的西北部，較近另一著名產區Pomerol。酒莊成立於1855年，當中經歷過多番承繼及轉讓🤝，終在2005年由Gaye家族所接手，現任莊主為Stephane de Gaye 🏻。Gaye家族所擁有的酒莊還包括分級為Bordeaux Supérieur 的Château Saint Barbe和位於Pomerol的Château La Creation。Stephane de Gaye在Gaye家族一直也是擔當重要角色，包括釀酒及管理的工作，他經常帶住以下格言去勉勵自己及酒莊員工要以出品高品質葡萄酒為目標:

"The wine is a passion and a profession in our family for many generations. I wanted to revive this culture and realize a dream entirely due to a passion intact. Daily monitoring of the vineyard and attention to every moment in the wine aging are needed to design a high quality product, and we know that quality is never a coincidence."

在2006年Stephane的女兒Yseult de Gaye加入了酒莊擔任釀酒師，不但在釀酒上加多點新活力🏻元素，女兒還擔任Marketing及Communication，把酒莊的高質紅酒推廣到全世界。

葡萄園佔地17公頃，地點非常接近Saint Emilion 及Pomerol 的”Premier Grand Crus”，受當地附近的優質風土所影響 (附近名莊有Ch. Cheval Blanc、Ch. Chauvin等….)，所出品的酒質不但高質，而且具備了Saint Emilion及Pomerol 典型的”果味濃”影子。園內主要種植Merlot、Cabernet Franc及Cabernet Sauvignon。葡萄滕平均樹齡為35年，種植密度為每公頃6600棵。酒莊採用全人手🤏🏻採摘，均確保完美熟成才採收。葡萄採摘後會經過溫控發酵，再導入法國橡木桶 (60%為新桶) 陳熟14-18個月以增加複雜度。

✍️實試報告:
此酒用上75% 的Merlot 梅洛，一開瓶已能聞到充沛的黑加倫子、熟成布冧、車厘子、皮革及紫羅蘭花香，香氣外發。抖氣一小時更能感受到、黑咖啡、少許牛油、可可、煙薰、meaty及earthy。層次多變而且酒體集中，body厚身，單寧酸度適中平衡，餘韻悠長。整體性價比很高，十分推薦。

The 2015 Grand Corbin Manuel is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon matured in 60% new oak. It has a fresh, classic Saint Emilion bouquet, very fresh and delineated, attractive sous-bois aromas emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, nothing ambitious or extraordinary, but here is a classic, almost old fashioned Saint Emilion that will be absolutely delicious when bottled.

One of three de Gaye family estates, this small 17-acre proprerty has produced an intense wine, black with dark tannins and black-plum flavors. There is no doubt about the weight of the wine and it has plenty of fruit to balance the big tannins and dark-coffee flavors.

A ripe, polished, fruit-driven style, with a lovely beam of raspberry and boysenberry fruit driving through, staying pure and focused while anise, black tea and chalk threads gild the finish.

🏻就是這“quality is never a coincidence”成就了呢款聖埃美倫靚酒，加上這靚年份，數量不多，是時候動手了。
