Canon La Gaffelière 2012 presents itself with a deep ruby hue, characteristic of a robust vintage. This wine features pronounced blackcurrant and black cherry notes, complemented by subtle hints of spices and earthy undertones. The blend, predominantly Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, achieves a full-bodied structure and a notable 13.5% alcohol content. The estate, under the stewardship of Comtes von Neipperg, has undergone significant transformation, moving away from a previously lacklustre reputation.
The 2012 Canon-la-Gaffelière has a higher toned nose than its peers, a little fresher than the 2012 Péby-Faugères with a light estuarine scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied and quite fleshy, savoury in style with a pretty black pepper-tinged finish. However, this fades in the glass and is perhaps not my favourite vintage in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
