€101.00
(€133.33 L)
Tax included
Very black coffee on the nose. The wine is dense and quite tannic, with an unusual roundness from Merlot. A chameleon-like wine.
Winemaker and Vineyard: Located at the foot of the hill south of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, Château Canon La Gaffelière's terroir consists of very filtering limestone-clay and sandy-clay soils that are particularly receptive to heat. The grape variety presents an atypical structure, characterized by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. The vinification takes place slowly, with maturation on fine lees, to bring out the intrinsic qualities of the wine.
Tasting: "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." robertparker.com (31.03.2017)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a stuffed pigeon with foie gras.
