Château Canon La Gaffelière is located on the foot of the slope south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon matured in predominantly new French oak for 18 months. A full bodied wine with opulent fruit character together with herbal and roasted coffee notes.

The 2000 Canon-la-Gaffelière, aged in 90% new oak for 18 months without fining, is a vintage that I have had several times since tasting it from barrel. The nose has mellowed and softened in recent years, now offering mulberry, singed leather, tea leaf and just a hint of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and plenty of red fruit, here laced with white pepper, tobacco and a touch of muskiness toward the finish. This was always impressive in its flush of youth and remains so in full maturity. I would drink bottles over the next 10 years.
