2016 Château du Gazin, Canon-Fronsac

There is 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec in this otherwise Merlot dominated blend. The Cabernet Franc gives perfume and the Malbec brings structure. The wine is a hedonistic ball of luscious fruit, full of sweetness and fine textures. There is freshness and length that we often see from this excellent 2016 vintage. Highly recommended.
