Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Canon la Gaffeliere out of the gate delivers a seductive nose of plum preserves, kirsch and Black Forest cake with nuances of lilacs, underbrush, Indian spices and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with black fruit preserves and loads of spicy accents, supported by chewy tannins and well-balanced freshness, finishing long and savory.
James Suckling
Fantastic depth and richness to the nose with plums, mushrooms, bark and some mahogany. Full-bodied, tight and focused with very fine tannins and a long, creamy finish. Lovely polish, balance and clarity. Drink after 2025.
Decanter Magazine
This has the clear edge over La Mondotte for me because it combines the polish and glamour of a St-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé with the salt taffy tang of limestone. Still a silky texture but a more attractive slate edge coming in on the finish to temper the sweet fruit and slow things down. A highly impressive wine. The harvest ran from 19 September to 4 October, with a yield of 35hl/ha. 50% new oak. Certified organic.

The nose is racy, elegant and offers power, finesse, a beautiful structure, a small bewitching side as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of fresh/crunchy wild blackberry and small notes of small berries, red fruits (strawberry, fleshy raspberry) associated with fine touches of cornflower, violet, liquorice, spices and a very discreet hint of chocolate. The palate is fresh, fruity, elegant, suave, racy, gourmandze and offers a beautiful mineral frame, a beautiful straightness, tension, a beautiful structure, a very beautiful definition, silky as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. A beautiful balanced between structure, straightness, elegance, finesse and power. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberryn fresh/fleshy cassis and small notes of crushed raspberry, fleshy/crushed red berries associated with touches of flowers (peony, cornflower), fine hints of chocolate, toasted, a very discreet hint of vanilla as well as an imperceptible varietal hint and black tea (in the background). Tannins are elegant, fine, precise and structuring. Good length and beautiful persistence. A very discreet chew on the finish/persistence.
Wine Enthusiast
his already shows sophistication in a stream of black currant fruit set alongside the firm tannins that are still developing. Its structure and juicy berry fruits give richness and freshness at the end while also promising aging.
Druvor
55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc och 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Extrema förhållanden ledde tidigt till hårt mögeltryck som minskade skörden vid vissa egendomar, men torrt och varmt väder med start i mitten av juli räddade årgången. De bästa röda är täta och tanninrika, med något högre alkohol och lägre syra, men fantastiskt driv och definition.Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion

Den regniga första halvan av säsongen minskade tidigare än den vänstra stranden, med torra förhållanden under andra halvan som gynnade ler- och kalkstensjordar, men vinerna är mer inkonsekventa överlag, med några vackra exempel, men andra visar något strama, örtartade profiler; Senmognad Cabernet Franc är en nyckelspelare.
