Description
The typicality of a First Great Classified Growth from Saint-Émilion revealed by Canon-La-Gaffelière
The estate
Château Canon-La-Gaffelière is a prestigious wine estate founded in the 17th century in the Bordeaux region. Located south of the medieval city of Saint-Émilion, Château Canon-La-Gaffelière has been under the direction of Stephen von Neipperg since 1983. A member of a German family involved in viticulture for almost 8 centuries, Stephen von Neipperg manages the Château Canon-La-Gaffelière with great passion and talent, through a resolutely modern approach to viticulture.
The vineyard
Situated at the foot of a hill, the estate has a 19.75-hectare vineyard planted in clay-limestone and clay-sandy soils. Managed on a parcel-by-parcel basis, the atypical vineyard receives all the necessary attention and is certified for organic farming.
Winemaking and ageing
Harvests from 17 September to 29 October. Vinification in oak vats. Extraction by pneumatic punch-downs. Ageing on fine lees, carried out in barrels (60% new).
Blend
The 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière is made from a blend of Merlot (55%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%).
