About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceThe estate is positioned in the centre of St-Emillion and under the custodianship of owner Comte von Neipperg - the estate is just shy of 20 hectares and grown to a balance of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking at Chateau Canon-La-Gaffeliere is steadfast in tradition, looking to fermentation in wooden vats and using only 50% new oak for wine maturation. The wines are full-flavourd, rich and potent, with a brightness of acidity and genlte fruit purity that works charmingly from the exceptional 2010 vintage.

This wine shows wonderfully exotic tapenade, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, blackberry and sweet cherry notes in its strikingly provocative aromatics. On the palate, the wine is dense and full-bodied, with stunning concentration, purity, texture and length. It is full-bodied, silky smooth and seems to have more in common with the 2009 than one might expect, although the freshness and tannin levels are slightly more elevated. Drink it over the next 20+ years. An absolutely spectacular success once again from proprietor Stephan von Niepperg. Gilles Pauquet is the consultant and has done an exemplary job with this particular estate.
