What reviewers say
“Very nice experience into history, took a while to get the cork and filtering right, altogether with the appropriate decanting time. While the nose is nowadays mostly gone, so is not the taste. It improved a lot during the drinking time, to come to show oak, cherry, and blackberries to the front, supported by tobacco and mint. It faded fast in the mouth in the beginning, more than you wish, but that partially improved throughout the drinking time. Very recommended match on spicy food.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine has rich, dark berry fruit, overlaid by spicy mocha and oak notes. The house style is powerful, but elegant, with refined tannins.

708 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 735 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 1,133 other reds from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château du Gazin Canon-Fronsac lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 708.
