Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere St. Emilion Grand Cru 2018 sku_2298364 within the 19th century borders

within the 19th century borders of the Russian Empire

Batch distilled just twice in alembic stills

but you still have the textural fiber to pair with fried chicken or breaded veal

with a faintly bitter midpalate and nutty finish bolstered by a cocoa hint

The resultant wine is a distinctive pale ruby in color with subtle aromas of violets and ripe red berry fruits
