Description
The history sanctioned Château Canon La Gaffeliére as one of the most famous Saint-Emilion wines.
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. Also, the aging process is made on fine lees to express better the true quality of the wine.
Château Canon La Gaffelière has been certified organic by FR-BIO-10.
Tasting notes
“The 2014 Canon la Gaffeliere has a fruit-driven, powerful bouquet with rounded raspberry, kirsch, mulberry and light honeyed scents that seem pure and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated red plum and tart cherry fruit. There is a spicy residue on the back palate with fine structure and poise towards the finish. As ever, a well-crafted, quite delicious Canon la Gaffeliere that should age with style.”
