Remarkably well-structured, always elegant, with a very long finish, Château Canon La Gaffelière is a wine of remarkable nobility.
Winemaker and Vineyard: The Château Canon La Gaffelière, located in Saint-Emilion, is blended from 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, from organically certified vines. The harvest took place from September 26 to October 15, with maturation in 60% new oak barrels. The yield is 42 hectoliters per hectare.
Tasting: "The 2016 Canon la Gaffeliere offers one of the most cerebral aromatics that I have encountered from this Saint Emilion estate: mineral-rich red and black fruit, quite edgy, almost flinty in style. I adore the focus of these aromas that are wired directly into the olfactory senses. The palate is very well balanced and governed by the Cabernet component. The black fruit is lifted by some lovely graphite notes that lend it a very Left Bank-like personality. It is fresh, taut and linear with a very persistent finish. Unlike other vintages of Canon la Gaffelière, I feel that this will require four to five years in bottle. As good as the 2015 last year, it might even surpass it." - robertparker.com (28.04.2017)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany guinea fowl with Calvados.
