Tasting Notes

As anticipated, Canon-la-Gaffelière shines brilliantly in the 2019 vintage. The naturally low yields contribute to a delightful elegance that dances through this wine. Its nose captivates with ripe currants and hints of dark forest floor, while the palate reveals a symphony of plums and dark chocolate. What sets this vintage apart is its remarkable balance, where a playful spirit harmoniously coexists with its inherent power. In sum, a truly exceptional wine worthy of acclaim.

Technical Info

Brand:Château Canon La Gaffeliere

Closure:Cork

Organic Certification:FR-BIO-10

Country of Origin:France

Serving Temperature:16-18°C

Sugar Residual:0.7 g/l

Drink By:2035

Wine Ageing:15-18 Months in french oak barriques

Winemaking Style:Traditional

Harvest:By hand, into small crates to avoid bruising. Sorting before and after destemming. No crushing. The grapes arrive on a conveyor belt.

Winemaking:The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in wooden vats for 28-35 days, utilizing pneumatic "pigeage" for extraction. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation and aging occur in new oak barrels (up to 80%) on fine lees, with fining and filtering as needed. The duration of barrel aging ranges from 15-18 months, depending on the vintage.

Viticulture:Located on the pied de côte (foot of the slope) south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, Château Canon La Gaffelière's terroir consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soil that is very permeable and particularly efficient at retaining heat.

Food Pairing:Grilled Lamb, Filet Mignon, Aged Gouda, Parmesan, Comté

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

James Suckling

Aromas of dark plums, blueberries, bark, dried leaves, mahogany, licorice and nutmeg. It’s medium-to full-bodied with silky, ripe tannins. Layered and supple with a stylish and polished finish. Voluptuous. One of the best in a long time. Drink from 2026.

Robert Parker

The 2019 Canon la Gaffelière has turned out brilliantly, bursting from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of wild berries, blood orange, exotic spices, rose petals, violets and burning embers. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's supple and perfumed, with a deep core of lively fruit, melting tannins and a long, saline finish. This contains the highest proportion of Cabernet Franc of any of Stephan Von Neipperg's wines, which no doubt helps to account for its singular personality.
