Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2000 Canon-la-Gaffelière, aged in 90% new oak for 18 months without fining, is a vintage that I have had several times since tasting it from barrel. The nose has mellowed and softened in recent years, now offering mulberry, singed leather, tea leaf and just a hint of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and plenty of red fruit, here laced with white pepper, tobacco and a touch of muskiness toward the finish. This was always impressive in its flush of youth and remains so in full maturity. I would drink bottles over the next 10 years.

Château Canon la Gaffelière

Canon la Gaffeliere is a 1er Grand Cru Classé, located on the slopes south of Saint-Émilion. Currently managed by Stephan von Neipperg, the 19.5 hectares is farmed with certified organic methods and consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soils that is highly permeable and particularly proficient at retaining heat. The vineyards are planted with 45% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Franc and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernets ripen early and remarkably well on Canon La Gaffelière's warm soil, adding power and aromatic complexity to Merlot's opulence, creating wines of natural elegance and finesse.
