Château Canon La Gaffelière 2024 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 1er Grand Cru Classé

The nose is beautifully elegant, it offers relief, complexity, good definition, brilliance and depth. It reveals notes of violet, ripe wild blackberry and small notes of camphor, associated with touches of cornflower, fine hints of bigarreau cherry, as well as discreet hints of fresh hazelnut and bergamot. The palate is well-built, fresh, supple, elegant, melodious and voluptuous. It offers a certain concentration of freshness/juiciness and airiness, a lovely brilliance of wine and a fine, almost roast-elegant hint. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of brilliant cassis, small brilliant blue fruits and small notes of fleshy/fairly ripe cherry, combined with touches of chocolate, toasted almond, brilliant blue plum, as well as fine hints of black tea/bergamot and fine, almost aromatic herbs touches in the background. Good length. Beautiful freshness, almost discreetly citrus. The tannins are precise, mellow and gourmand. An elegant wine, aromatic on the nose, with good persistence and an infusion side of freshness and finesse.
