ChateauCanon La Gaffeliere Grand Cru Classe Saint Emilion Description: Vines have been grown at Chateau La Gaffeliere since Gallo-Roman times, as attested by a villa from this period discovered by Count Leo de Malet Roquefort. His family have owned and managed this chateau for four centuries giving them a richer and longer history than any other winegrowers in Saint-Emilion. The current owner makes use of this experience to renovate every now and then but also to perpetuate the traditions that have made La Gaffeliere famous worldwide. The wine is a deep ruby-red colour and it has a rich and complex bouquet with hints of blackcurrant and truffle. 18-20 months in new barrels. "...a compressed but alluring, medium bodied, finesse-filled format...pretty fruit and a dry, crisp finish. Anticipated maturity, 2000-2010." Parker, 87. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £758.97
