Château Canon-La-Gaffelière 2016 - Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, Bordeaux, France
A compelling expression of Right Bank Bordeaux, this 2016 from Château Canon-La-Gaffelière combines ripe Merlot richness with the freshness and structure of Cabernet Franc in a balanced, elegant frame. Aromas of blackberry, plum and cassis mingle with notes of spice, cedar and graphite, while the palate shows depth of fruit supported by polished tannins and bright acidity. There’s a fine thread of minerality and savoury complexity beneath the fruit, and the finish is long, refined and layered - classic Saint-Émilion with both early enjoyment and long-term cellar potential.
