Chateau Canon-la-Gaffelière St-Emilion 2022

Located at the foot of the hill south of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, the terroir of Château Canon La Gaffelière is composed of clay-limestone and clay-sand soils, very filtering, particularly receptive to heat.

Due to the nature of the soils, the grape varieties planted have an atypical structure for the appellation, characterized by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. On this terroir, where ripening occurs very early, the Cabernet grapes flourish remarkably, bringing to the opulence of the Merlot a power and aromatic complexity that underpin the natural elegance and finesse of Canon La Gaffelière wines.

97 Points Vinous                                                                                                             Soars out of the glass with a rush of exotic floral and spice notes. Rose petal, mint, white pepper, chalk, lavender and mocha make a strong first impression. Lithe and elegant, but with plenty of understated power, the 2022 is an absolute jewel of a wine.  Antonio Galloni 

96 Points James Suckling                                                                                              Aromas of ripe redcurrants and hints of caramel and fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows fine tannins under lots of ripe and luscious fruit but is not heavy. The finish is juicy and savory. 35% cabernet franc, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 50% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Attractive already but needs at least three or four years to come around.

96 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate                                                                          A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Canon la Gaffelière exhibits aromas of raspberries and plums, complemented by notions of iris, rose petals, incense and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's supple, suave and sophisticated, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. - William Kelley
