Canon La Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2019

Canon La Gaffelière 2019 is a distinguished Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé that captures the finesse and depth of one of Bordeaux’s most respected terroirs. Built on a classic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines precision, elegance, and power in a style that has made the estate a benchmark on the Right Bank.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby-garnet colour with a polished, vibrant core. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe black cherries, plum, violets, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, unfolding beautifully with air. On the palate, it is refined and supple yet structured, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, harmonious finish. Merlot lends richness and texture, while Cabernet Franc brings aromatic lift and freshness. This is a wine with excellent cellaring potential and should continue to develop complexity over the next 10–20 years, gaining savoury and tertiary nuances with time.

Production
Canon La Gaffelière is located on the southeastern limestone and clay slopes of Saint-Émilion, where the mix of soils contributes both generosity and tension to the wine. The estate benefits from a carefully managed vineyard approach, with hand harvesting and parcel-by-parcel selection to capture the best expression of each grape variety and site. Vinification is carried out with a focus on precision and balance, allowing gentle extraction to preserve fruit purity and floral detail. Aging generally takes place in French oak barrels, adding structure, spice, and integration without overshadowing the estate’s elegant, terroir-driven character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
