Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

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.

2009 vintage. Drinking just in time. Still lots of spicey black fruits. Cedar and old tobacco. Cacao notes also. — 7 months ago

Canon-Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Basic label. Smells like cherry coke and wood oil. Flavors are complex and chewy. Cherry cola in flavors. Licorice too. Age-d. — 7 months ago

Château Mazeris-Bellevue

Canon-Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (15%), Cabernet Sauvignon (14%) and Malbec (1%). Medium ruby core that turns more garnet closer to the rim. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit with hints of tar and roasted coffee. Flavors of red cherry, raspberry, black currant, figs,and mocha. Just a touch of baking spices on the long finish. Satiny texture and very fine tannins. Medium bodied and very soft. Good example of where proper aging can benefit a wine. Solid. Thanks for sharing, Chris B. — 4 months ago

Château La Vieille Cure

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Pop and pour (practically) — can’t be helped.

NOSE: something savory, blackberry, and a little violet. Mild clove. A little clay. Something…Mexican?

TASTE: juicy, purple cassis and clay. Fresh and tasty. The kind of wine I like, basically. Blueberry pie after air. 93.

Same with me. When it works, it’s great. But glitches pretty frequently.
