Château Canon la Gaffelière, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “This starts off with tender raspberry coulis, rooibos tea and savory notes, then slowly builds tension and cut as it moves along, with a long, chalky thread running underneath. A lithe, lacy wine that moves with the grace of a gentle breeze. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet
Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2038.” 95 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 348646

Château Cantenac Brown, Margaux
“Ripe and filling, I love the almost instant hit of cool but juicy blue fruits and salty liquorice that expands onto the palate and settles on the finish. Tannins support the fruit, adding texture and depth to the expression, but this retains a sleek frame and direct core of flavour. Lovely energy and focus with precision. It’s a little more streamlined than some others in Margaux, less bouncy, and more sleek but nicely detailed without any one element being over the top.” 96 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 272612 $135 Cap de Faugères, Bordeaux “The 2022 Cap de Faugères has a sprightly, quite opulent bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet scents, cohering nicely in the glass with its well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with sapid black fruit, fine delineation and a lovely saline

finish. This is recommended.” 92 pts, Neal Martin, Vinous 272693
