Wine Spectator (96-99)Juicy and forward in feel, with fresh plum, blackberry and anise notes. Dense, but still silky and refined in feel, revealing a long mineral echo through the finish. This is so pure, it seems almost too easy to drink already, just as you realize how ridiculously long it is. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95-97)Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2018 Château Bellefont-Belcier always showed brilliantly, with a full-bodied, sexy style that’s very much in the vintage. Coming from a 12.5-hectare vineyard just beside Larcis Ducasse (this is an incredible terroir) and a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, aging in 40% new French oak, its deep purple color is followed by a classic bouquet of ripe black fruits, tobacco leaf, earth, and spice box. Deep, rich, and textured, with sweet tannins, it’s another rock star effort this vintage that’s going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and keep for two decades or more. |

Crafted with quintessential mastery, Calicem 2018 is an exquisite wine, birthed in the revered vineyards of Bordeaux, France. The esteemed producer, Calicem, marries traditional viticulture with innovative methods to produce this pristine expression. The base of Calicem 2018 is primarily Merlot, harmoniously blended with a measured touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, for an invigorating complexity. Subtle hints of oak emanate from its 18-month ageing process in French oak barrels, enhancing its rich, velvety texture. Upon swirling in the glass, Calicem 2018 reveals a dark ruby hue, paving the way for a robust palate. Full-bodied notes of blackcurrant, truffles and sweet spices dance on the tongue, while its long finish leaves nuances of dark chocolate and raspberry echo. With its cellaring potential of up to 20 years, Calicem 2018 promises to develop deeper notes and complexity over time, cementing itself as a compelling choice for collectors and aficionados alike. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (97)The 2018 Canon La Gaffelière is bright, punchy and full of character, just as it was from barrel. Sage, blood orange, mocha and spice add pretty aromatic top notes to a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced in this super-expressive Saint-Émilion. Bright floral and savory Franc notes punctuate the salivating finish, mineral-drenched finish. The 2018 needs a lot of air to open, but when it does, it is dynamite. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (100)If awards were given out for sensuality, this gem would take the trophy. Incredibly sexy, with its velvet drenched textures, silky tannins and opulent personality, this wine stands out in a crowd. The nose, with its aromatic display of flowers, plums, cherries, espresso, licorice, dark cocoa and oyster shell is compelling. The seamless finish crosses the 60 second mark with its non-stop display of concentrated, perfectly ripe, dark sweet, red fruits, chocolate, licorice and spice. If you can afford it, it is a wine you should have in your cellar and you'll want to age this for at least 15 years before popping a bottle. The wine was made using 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% ABV. This wine is a legend in the making. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93-96)A rough blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Franc made by the team at Canon (Thomas Duclos also consults here), the 2018 Château Berliquet sports a deeper purple color as well as a complex, layered style in its black raspberry, white flowers, dried earth, spice, and forest floor aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, has a rounded, expansive texture, beautiful tannins, and brilliant freshness and purity as well as a serious kick of minerality on the finish. Coming from a smaller 10-hectare terroir located on the clay and limestone soils on the upper plateau, it will spend 16 months in 45% new French oak. Tasted twice. |

Crafted with quintessential mastery, Calicem 2018 is an exquisite wine, birthed in the revered vineyards of Bordeaux, France. The esteemed producer, Calicem, marries traditional viticulture with innovative methods to produce this pristine expression. The base of Calicem 2018 is primarily Merlot, harmoniously blended with a measured touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, for an invigorating complexity. Subtle hints of oak emanate from its 18-month ageing process in French oak barrels, enhancing its rich, velvety texture. Upon swirling in the glass, Calicem 2018 reveals a dark ruby hue, paving the way for a robust palate. Full-bodied notes of blackcurrant, truffles and sweet spices dance on the tongue, while its long finish leaves nuances of dark chocolate and raspberry echo. With its cellaring potential of up to 20 years, Calicem 2018 promises to develop deeper notes and complexity over time, cementing itself as a compelling choice for collectors and aficionados alike. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (97)The 2018 Canon La Gaffelière is bright, punchy and full of character, just as it was from barrel. Sage, blood orange, mocha and spice add pretty aromatic top notes to a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced in this super-expressive Saint-Émilion. Bright floral and savory Franc notes punctuate the salivating finish, mineral-drenched finish. The 2018 needs a lot of air to open, but when it does, it is dynamite. |

James Suckling (94-95)This is a very tight and structured second wine with blueberry, spice and light hazelnut character. It’s full of volume, but shows underlying firmness and brightness. Lovely length. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (100)If awards were given out for sensuality, this gem would take the trophy. Incredibly sexy, with its velvet drenched textures, silky tannins and opulent personality, this wine stands out in a crowd. The nose, with its aromatic display of flowers, plums, cherries, espresso, licorice, dark cocoa and oyster shell is compelling. The seamless finish crosses the 60 second mark with its non-stop display of concentrated, perfectly ripe, dark sweet, red fruits, chocolate, licorice and spice. If you can afford it, it is a wine you should have in your cellar and you'll want to age this for at least 15 years before popping a bottle. The wine was made using 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% ABV. This wine is a legend in the making. |
