Description

The 19.5 hectare Canon La Gaffeliere vineyard is planted to 52% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. They have old vines averaging close to 50 years of age. They also have much older vines which are close to 80 years of age.
The best parcel of vines is in the deep clay, where you find their oldest vines. In that plot, the vines date back to the 1930’s. The terroir of Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere is clay, limestone and sand soils.
Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere is much better with at least 10-15 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours, or more.
This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.

Tasting Notes

A super wine combining concentration, elegance, silky tannins and an array of floral, stone, cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and smoky essences.
