Notes from critics
This is a stunning Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. Crafted on grounds with an incredible history—the chateau where this wine is made dates back to the 14th century—it is an absolute masterpiece of balance and power. It offers a rich tapestry of dark fruit, spice, elegant tannins, and a mouthwatering finish that will just leave you craving the next sip.
98
What a fragrance—ripe-fruited, expressive, with the finest roasted notes; floral tones, dark cherries, blackberry; imposing and powerful on the palate, yet not overburdened—opulent, yet elegant; sensational length; a monumental Canon La Gaffelière.
97
The vivid floral character directs the wine in the right direction. On the palate, the wine is equally vibrant, showcasing layers of plums, smoke, licorice, black cherries, espresso, chocolate, and mint. Its opulent, polished, and lively finish is silky and, most importantly, fresh, concluding with multiple layers of chocolate-covered plums, black cherries, espresso, crushed stones, and spices. The balance, freshness, and purity of the fruits make everything work harmoniously here. The wine blends 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2027-2055
