Château Canon La Gaffelière
Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is owned by Comte von Neipperg. Located in the centre of the St.Emilion appellation, due south of St.Emilion town, the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by both St.Emilion and Pomerol: more continental than the maritime Médoc, with generally more spring rainfall, though less in summer and winter. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé. The move to sustainable farming was one of the first major changes Stephan von Neipperg made when he began to manage the estate. The soil is regularly plowed, which helps aeration. To avoid blending both layers of topsoil, only light plowing takes place. The vineyards of Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere are farmed using 100% organic methods since 2014 vintage.
Description
The 2016 Canon La Gaffelière is just as striking from bottle as it was from barrel. Bright, intensely aromatic and precise, the 2016 has it all. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and rose petal all race through this silky, super-expressive Saint-Émilion.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with veal and duck.
