The Story
A prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and exotic spice. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable precision create an elegant Bordeaux with exceptional depth and outstanding aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or wild mushroom risotto.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Super-ripe fruit dominates this generous, full-bodied wine. Its tannins and structure are wrapped within rich, expressive fruit, while the finish retains excellent freshness.
Barrel Sample: 93–95 Points
95 Points - Wine Spectator
Broad and impressive, with mouthwatering tobacco and warm ganache notes leading into layers of fig, blackberry and black currant preserves. Already remarkably well-defined despite its firm structure. Tempting now, but best left in the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2035.
93 Points - James Suckling
A big, rich wine with abundant ripe black fruit aromas and supple, dry tannins supporting its full-bodied palate. Drink from 2020, although already delicious.

Commentary: The 2014 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière earns high praise as an outstanding wine crafted from certified organically grown grapes.
Tasting Notes: Packed with expressive red and black fruit while remaining beautifully balanced, this is one of the estate's finest efforts. (Tasted: January 27, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

The 2014 Canon La Gaffelière offers a fruit-driven, powerful bouquet of raspberry, kirsch, mulberry and delicate honeyed notes that are both pure and seductive. Medium-bodied, it delivers saturated red plum and tart cherry flavors with lingering spice, fine structure and excellent poise through the finish. A beautifully crafted, delicious Saint-Émilion that will age gracefully.
