Château Canon-la-Gaffelière
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Located on the outskirts of the medieval town of Saint-Emilion, at the southern foot of the slope. A blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, a lower Merlot blend (normally 70% in Saint-Emilion) allowing more for Cab Franc, enhanced by the warm soil. Wonderful, complex a Gem! Perfect now! Subtle fruit aromas accompanied by cedar & spice. The palate shows fresh ripe berry fruits, cacao and espresso notes. Well balanced, perfect tannins, a joy to drink. Tasting Sample.

Beautiful aromatics on this wine showing dark red fruits, cassis, plum with lots of vanilla spice, dried herbs, earth & tobacco. Med bodied & structured with a silky texture but very approachable now.
