Scoring 93 points, the 2016 vintage of the Château Canon la Gaffelière Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé is a testament to the mastery of winemaking. This Bordeaux blend hails from the revered terroirs of Saint-Émilion, carrying with it an intimate echo of the region’s limestone and clay soils. On the palate, it seductively unfolds layers of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and a hint of licorice, all framed by well-integrated tannins that promise a graceful aging potential. This is not a wine to be missed for any serious collector or enthusiast, especially considering it delivers well beyond its peers in terms of quality. Perfectly suited for a celebratory dinner, it pairs excellently with a rich beef bourguignon or a mature, hard cheese.
