96 Points! Also yet to be released is the 2019 Barolo Riserva Cerretta Vigna Bricco, which is deep and expressive of this structured vintage and textbook Serralunga power. It’s sanguine and deep with notes of leather, ripe cherries, dark stony earth, sage, and floral perfume. Fabulous all around, it fills the palate with rich, well-defined tannins, gravelly angular texture, refreshing acidity, and savory notes of tea leaf and truffle on the finish.

95 Points! The Elio Altare 2019 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows some tertiary definition with aromas of sambuca, licorice, tar and campfire ash.

The 2022 opens in the glass with ripe raspberry, black cherry, cassis and cedar. Scheduled to age in large foudres for two years, ripe tannins offer the wine a good structure and framework. Finishing on a savory note, the 2022 looks quite promising at this early stage. - Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous

The classic red of the domaine accounts for approximately 85% of the annual production of the estate.  It is composed of 65% Grenache Noir, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and a balance of other traditional varieties. The grapes are not destemmed, the cuvaison lasts for three weeks and the élevage encompasses an additional 18 months in traditional foudre wood vats before the wine is bottled unfiltered. The fruit is perfectly in balance with the textural elements, showing typical dark fruit notes with discernible energy and liveliness. Its slighty sauvage character and firm structural backbone is leavened by its exceptional breed.

94 Points! The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Medalla (from Los Arboles, Tunuyán, Uco Valley) was aged for 10 months in new and used barrels. Dark garnet in the glass. The nose presents notes of blackcurrant and quince with gentle hints of bell pepper and a touch of blackberry jam over an elegant bed of wood. It’s creamy in the mouth with a broad flow and velvety tannins that add a little shape. The volume and relaxed, ripe flavor build as it goes on into the juicy, fruity finish, resulting in a substantial, nuanced wine that will grow in the bottle. - Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous Media

98 Points Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
"The most firmly constructed wine of the Calon stable, yet it still delivers the combination of finesse and concentration that defines the best wines of 2025. Graphite, slate, iris, cassis, crushed violets, espresso, and cocoa bean unfold in layers. A slow unroll of complexity and one of the standout wines of the vintage."

96-98 Points Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Dark in color, with an aromatic display of red, purple, and white flowers alongside black fruits and berries. The palate is refined, powerful, and focused, offering endless waves of ripe fruit, spice, mint, and peppery chocolate. Long, restrained, and beautifully balanced."

95-97 Points Wine Advocate
"A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 offers dark berries, rose petals, violets, and subtle oak notes. Full-bodied and layered with terrific energy, ultra-refined tannins, and a long, penetrating finish."

95-97 Points Neal Martin, Vinous
"Immense clarity and precision with blackberry, cedar, and subtle sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins and a distinctive marine character that adds complexity and personality. Classical, elegant, and beautifully balanced."

95-97 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"A total head-turner. Aromatic and structured, packed with intense fruit and equally potent tannins. Dried herbs, crushed rose petals, and mint linger throughout a wine that promises extraordinary longevity."

95-97 Points The Wine Palate
"Seductive notes of iris, fresh blueberries, and black currant jelly lead into a full-bodied palate marked by bright fruit, firm tannins, and tremendous tension. Long, mineral-driven, and exceptionally pure."

95-97 Points Jeb Dunnuck
"Ripe plums, cassis, black raspberries, smoky tobacco, and violet notes emerge from this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend. Full-bodied, polished, and lush, with ripe tannins and a great finish. A Saint-Estèphe that combines early appeal with serious aging potential."

95-96 Points James Suckling
"Aromas of ripe black currants are complemented by menthol and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with firm, slightly chewy tannins and a savory finish. Plenty of character and complexity."

96 Points Decanter
"Crystalline blackcurrant fruit, licorice, tobacco, and smoky notes. Softly chewy, layered, and beautifully controlled, with a juicy core of strawberries and cherries and Calon's signature mineral grip on the finish."

94 Points! Caramel and toffee aromas lead the nose, while the soft palate opens with a luscious brown-sugar flavor that's cut with brisk espresso and cocoa tones. It tapers off to a dry leather exhale accented with clove and black pepper. It's ideal as a sipping rum. - Wine Enthusiast

Aroma: Pale golden amber color. Buttercream, dried papaya, caramel custard and nougat aromas.

Notes: A supple, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity, medium to full body with grilled pepper, mineral and mocha accents. Finishes with a long, cocoa and pepper spice fade with a balanced warmth. 

Critic tasting note: "Resurrected after 23 years, this smooth, buttery American whiskey is worth the wait. It has mellow vanilla and oak flavors, with a faint cherry essence on the long finish that seems to urge, “stir up a few Manhattans already.”" - 93/100, Wine Enthusiast

95–97 Points – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Black cherries, licorice, flowers, chocolate, smoke, and mint leaves create the perfume. The multiple layers of fruit grab your attention with their elegance, purity, and energy, finishing with a refreshing touch of chocolate-mint and a light touch of sea salt, adding sapidity.”

95 Points – Georgina Hindle, Decanter
“Beautiful aromatics, floral notes and Chinese five spice with sweet red berry fruit. Juicy and lifted, with a calm, chiselled frame and velvety tannins. Balanced and poised with lovely layering of texture and aromatic complexity.”

94–96 Points – The Wine Independent (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2025 Canon-la-Gaffelière slowly emerges with notes of lavender and lilacs, red currant jelly, fresh blackberries, mossy tree bark, tar, and cardamom. Tightly wound with mineral-laced fruit layers and a savory lift.”

94 Points – Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
“High pumice stone grip, certainly very much on the limestone character, attractive and with plenty of lift and grip, with attractive drama from grilled sandalwood and incense oak notes.”

94–96 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The 2025 Canon La Gaffelière is bright and beautifully focused right out of the gate. Orange peel, sage, mint, pipe tobacco, dried flowers and mocha soar out of the glass. I especially admire the energy here.”

92–94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck
“A lighter, more herbal-styled wine offering juicy red fruits, sappy flowers, graphite, tobacco, and a kiss of minerality. Medium-bodied, with fine, polished tannins and a good finish.”

Terroir: From the lieu-dit "Les Cornillaux" in the village of Leynes, on hard limestone and grey Liassic marls. Southwestern exposure, gentle slope.

Viticulture: Organic (not certified)

The Saisons Saint-Véran 2020 is a white Burgundy wine known for its bright, fresh, and balanced character. It offers a pale yellow color and a nose that combines delicate fruit aromas like peach and pear with floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. Some vintages may also exhibit hints of exotic fruits and citrus. On the palate, it's typically dry, well-rounded, and mineral, with a lively acidity that contributes to a harmonious and refreshing experience. The wine often displays notes of fresh almond, hazelnut, and sometimes even a touch of butter or honey. 

100 Points! Even more flamboyant and sexy than the 2000, the 2005 Pavie has everything you could ever want from a wine. Deep, inky purple-colored, an awesome perfume of cassis, blackberries, toasty oak, graphite, and incredible minerality, full body, sweet tannin, and a blockbuster finish all make for an extraordinary Saint-Emilion. It’s still a baby but offers incredible pleasure today. It’s going to last for another 3-4 decades. - jeb Dunnuck, 2018

100 Points! The 2005 Pavie is deep garnet with a touch of brick. It skips out of the glass with bright, lively notes of Morello cherries, plum preserves, red roses, and candied violets followed by hints of menthol, dark chocolate, and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is so vibrant and energetic that it sparkles. Youthful red and black fruit notes comingle with mineral and floral sparks, framed by fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing with epic length and depth. This is a triumph. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, 2023
