Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“Aromas of ripe redcurrants and hints of caramel and fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows fine tannins under lots of ripe and luscious fruit but is not heavy. The finish is juicy and savory. 35% cabernet franc, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 50% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Attractive already but needs at least three or four years to come around.”
Stephan von Neipperg today manages Château Canon-La-Gaffelière as well as the family’s Bordeaux estates acquired since 1971. The particular nature of the soils at Château Canon La Gaffelière plays an essential role. These clay-limestone and clay-sand soils, which are very free-draining, are particularly receptive to heat. Because of the nature of the soils, the grape varieties also show an unusual make-up for a Right Bank cru, defined by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. On this terroir, where the grapes ripen early, the Cabernets flourish and bring aromatic complexity to the richness of the Merlots.
