A family estate rooted in the legendary terroir of Saint-Émilion, where the von Neipperg heritage meets a pursuit of excellence since 1971.
- Terroir : 19.5 hectares of clay-limestone and clay-sandy soils, shaping wines of mineral elegance and rare depth.
- Vinification : Respect for natural balances, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties in equal proportion, for cuvées that are both full-bodied and precise.
Tasting notes for Château Canon la Gaffelière Canon La Gaffelière 1983
- To the eye : A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density and a brilliance subtly veiled by time.
- On the nose : First notes of black cherry and candied prune, followed by a hint of cinnamon and liquorice, before opening onto nuances of aged leather and a chalky minerality.
- On the palate : A velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a tannic structure still present, while aromas of sweet spices and undergrowth extend into a long and saline finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
