Château Canon-la-Gaffelière Premier Grand Cru Classé 2017

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is located on a slope south of the medieval town of Saint-Émilion. Its terroir consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soils with an extremely high thermal capacity. The almost perfect balance of varieties between Merlot and Cabernet, which is due to this type of soil, is rather atypical for the appellation. However, on the warm, early-ripening soils, the Cabernets can unfold superbly, complementing the opulence of the Merlots with extraordinary power and aromatic complexity. This is what gives Canon-la-Gaffelière wines their natural elegance and finesse.
