The Canon La Gaffelière – Premier Grand Cru Classé “B” 2016 shows a deep garnet color with violet hues, reflecting its ripe fruit profile and structural depth.
On the nose, this Saint-Émilion reveals a complex aromatic profile of black and red berry fruits, complemented by violets, plum, blackberry, cassis, tobacco, licorice, spice box and cedarwood, alongside subtle mineral and savory nuances.
On the palate, the wine delivers a balanced interplay of concentrated fruit, silky, well-integrated tannins and vibrant freshness. Dark berries are enriched by elegant spice and mineral tension, leading to a long, refined finish.
