2010 Château Canon-la-Gaffelière
Community Tasting Note
WineGuyDelMar Likes this wine:
95 Points
Saturday, August 20, 2022 - Drank next to a 2009 Larcis Ducasse. This is a Classic St Emilion. Dark black fruits, dry and devoid of any sweetness. Lots of flavor layers and complexity. Chocolate & tobacco notes. Nice earth too. This is my style of St Emilion. Note to self…Please get more of this.

Open to thoughts on this. Also bringing a 2013 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc. This will be a first for me. Looking forward to the experience of both. Hopefully the group of 10 enjoy it. M

'Insanely good' was the fun comment. Both the year and Right Bank were called out. Notes later based upon their comments.

Besides CLG..Larcis Ducasse, Beasejour Becot, La Gaffeliere and Clos Fortet and equally excellent at more reasonable price points. At lower price points but also very solid are Monbousquet, Clos de L’Oratoire, Fleur Cardinale & Barde Haut. All of these are Grand Cru. Cheers
