2016 Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe
2016 Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe The choice of grape varieties is rather atypical for the appellation in light of the soil: almost a perfect 50/50 divide between Merlot and Cabernet. The Cabernets ripen early and remarkably well on Canon La Gaffeliere’s warm soil adding power and aromatic complexity to Merlot’s opulence to create wines of natural elegance and finesse.

Purple colour. The nose is spicy and slightly smoky, with notes of tobacco evolving with airing into aromas of red fruits. The attack is silky, and the mid-palate is fleshy. The wine has a good balance and a tasty and aromatic finish.
Colour : deep ruby color with purple reflections. Nose : blackcurrant, blueberry as well as hints of cocoa and fresh tobacco. Mouth : fresh on the palate with full flavor and round body. Long finish, final note of minerality and a hint of chalkiness.
The palate is very smooth, satin-like tannin accompanied by a fresh line of acidity. Harmonious, almost sultry in style and yet there is plenty of freshness on the caressing finish.
