Wine Tasting with Château Cantemerle & Château Grand Corbin
Thursday 30th January 2025 at 7:30pm
HEC UK House, 43 Parker Street WC2B 5PS
We are delighted to welcome Marion Millaire for a very special evening with Château Cantemerle and Château Grand Corbin!
In December 1980, the SMA Group purchased Château Cantemerle in the Haut Médoc, Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. Grand Corbin, Cantemerle two separate entities with a shared corporate cultural heritage. Loyalty and fidelity are at the heart of the Group’s ethos. They also share the same credo: to enable the terroir to reveal its true potential. This requires taking time for reflection, looking at all the options, experimenting, and consulting with leading experts in order to allow the terroir to reveal its true character.
About Château Cantemerle Château Cantemerle is a winery in the Haut-Médoc appellation of the Bordeaux wine region of France, in the commune of Macau. Château Cantemerle designated a great growth in the famous 1855 classification, has deep gravel soil. Thanks to its unique terroir, Cantemerle produces complex, well-balanced and refined wines.
About Château Grand Corbin
Domaine du Château Haut Corbin was purchased in 1986 and at the time covered 13 hectares of vines, 6 hectares of which were adjoining land. When 15.5 hectares of land belonging to the neighbouring Château Grand Corbin were put up for sale in 2010, this was a fantastic opportunity for Château Haut Corbin. This was an exciting opportunity considering, not just the proximity of the two wine estates, but also the complementarity of the two terroirs.The estate’ soil types and textures arre formed of wind-carried sand over a deep layer of clay, a type of soil that provides the Merlot with perfect growing conditions.
