Château Canon-La-Gaffelière - Saint-Emilion grand cru - Rouge - 2023

Château Canon La Gaffelière is the jewel of Count Stephan Von Neipperg, who has elevated it to the highest level. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé B, shining on the slopes of Saint-Emilion, the estate has been certified organic since the 2015 vintage and has been expertly managed from the start by the renowned consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt. Every lot from the various sectors is meticulously separated, with each juice carefully nurtured to express the quintessence of this exceptional terroir, resulting in a high-caliber wine that balances finesse and power, with legendary longevity.

Once again, the 2023 vintage lives up to its promises, showcasing a more oceanic than continental profile. It is less dense than usual but much more nuanced and refined, revealing significant aromatic finesse. This year, with 45% top-quality Cabernet Francs leading the blend, it shapes an undeniable freshness within a slender balance that is expected to age gracefully, rated 93-94/100 by RVF.

Undoubtedly, it stands among the Grand Crus with immense potential. Canon La Gaffelière reaffirms its supremacy among the stars of Saint-Emilion.
