They are classy, remarkably well-structured, complex, pure, and always elegant.

Tasting Notes: “The 2021 Canon La Gaffelière is striking. Aromatic and expressive, with no hard edges, the 2021 impresses with its balance and overall harmony. All the elements are so nicely integrated. Crushed red berry fruit, white flowers, mint, rose petal and orange zest all race through this super-appealing, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. The 2021 is so well put together. It’s is such a sensual wine. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94-96 Points
