Château Canon La Gaffelière, (Magnum) 2022
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 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.
JCP Maltus, Le Dôme 2021
Le Dôme from JCP Maltus represents the pinnacle of Saint-Émilion winemaking, offering luxurious and opulent wines that showcase the unique limestone terroir of the appellation. With 96 points, Jonathan Maltus’ 2021 vintage received Jane Anson’s second highest rating of the vintage (just one point off leaders Figeac and La Mission Haut Brion), equalling Lafite, Lafleur and Cheval Blanc, and ahead of Petrus, Mouton, Margaux, Mouton, Haut Brion and Ausone! All of which are least double the price, some triple the price or more. Another fan, Jeb Dunnuck, writes how “ Gorgeous cassis fruits, notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and chalky minerality, medium to full body, and beautiful tannins all define this beauty ”, whilst Decanter’s Georgina Hindle calls it “ Classy stuff - and one of the wines from 2021 I'd like to own! ”. With its distinctive 80% Cabernet Franc, and the guidance of superstar consultant Thomas Duclos (responsible for the renaissance of fellow Saint Emilion properties Canon, Troplong Mondot and Beaséjour Becot), Le Dôme is on an exciting trajectory.
