Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

9.5

This wine screams right bank Bordeaux supported by a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A dark Ruby red in colour this has a lovely perfume with aromas of plum, cigar box, dried bracken and roses, tobacco and spice. Cinnamon and nutmeg from the oak. 70% of the French Oak barrels were new. Medium plus bodied. The tannins are there but lessening in impact. 14.5% ABV. This wine was #2 in the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2013. A near neighbour of the aristocratic Chateau Ausone. — 2 days ago

Had dinner at Chateau Guiraud, which is the same ownership in 2014. Dinner after a multiple vintages tasting at 8 Chateau’s in Sauternes during En Primeur and then tastings 50 Sauternes in an hour before dinner. The final wine was Cannon.

The ownership has a style...which...works over multiple BDX concerns. A bit heavy and gratuitous but it smooths over the various vintage speed bumps here and there. Always pleasant and cordial. Plenty of Howdoyoudo? Attention to detail evident. The various ownership property labels a safe harbor in an uncertain BDX world.

2011 vintage. Last of two, kept, bottles with two being gifted. Last tasted 7.21.25 (9.4) and 12.11.24 (9.4). PNP'd with very early Thanksgiving-styled fare. Great cork and fill and traces of sed. Tasted over the course of 1.5 hours. Still light-medium body. Very very nice but just missing that upper-level, loving touch exhibited in the last two bottles tasted in the last 11 months. If I came across another stash of this tho in the next decade, would likely pull the trigger. 11.6.25. — 2 months ago

Dark fruit for days but focused and weightless. Still a baby compared to the ‘18. The last glass 9 hours after opening was the best. — 8 months ago
