Château Canon La Gaffelière 2020
Located on the pied de côte (foot of the slope) south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, Château Canon La Gaffelière's terroir consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soil that is very permeable and particularly efficient at retaining heat. The choice of grape varieties is rather atypical for the appellation in light of the soil: almost a perfect 50/50 divide between Merlot and Cabernet. The Cabernets ripen early and remarkably well on Canon La Gaffelière's warm soil, adding power and aromatic complexity to Merlot's opulence to create wines of natural elegance and finesse. Non-interventionist winemaking is practised and in such a way as to make the most of vintage character.
San Giorgio a Lapi, Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva, (Magnum) 2021
Grown in the rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, San Giorgio a Lapi's Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva delivers deep, ripe cherry and blackberry flavours, layered with hints of spice, leather, and earthy undertones. Aged to perfection, it strikes a great balance between richness and elegance, with silky tannins and a long, smooth finish. Whether you're pairing it with a classic bistecca alla fiorentina, a hearty pasta dish, or just enjoying a glass on its own, this Chianti Classico Riserva has heaps of Tuscan charm.
