Description
The history sanctioned Château Canon La Gaffeliére as one of the most famous Saint-Emilion wines. In 2014, the estate is certified in Organic Agriculture, which match their environmental idea.
Thanks to the terroir specificity, the almost perfect balance of the grapes planted makes this wine very special. It is composed of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, while the average Saint-Emilion is more around 70% Merlot. The vineyard is managed in the respect of the environment and that is how Château Canon La Gaffelière has been certified organic by FR-BIO-10.
Tasting Notes
“Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Canon la Gaffeliere delivers classic plum preserves, boysenberries and cigar box scents with wafts of underbrush, dried roses and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid line of grainy tannins and racy freshness supporting the dense fruit, finishing with compelling purity and great length.”
