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.
