With viticultural history dating back to the 17th century, Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is a prestigious wine estate situated in the Saint-Émilion appellation. Owned by Count Stephan von Neipperg since 1985, the property was upgraded in the official 2012 Saint-Émilion Classification to Premier Grand Cru Classé B. This is the 2005 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s an assertive wine, with a rich palate and enticing dried fruit character. Drinking well now.

Vinous
The 2005 Canon La Gaffelière is a big wine. Inky red fruit, mocha, espresso, licorice, dried flowers, mint and tobacco all flesh out in the glass. Although the 2005 possesses remarkable density, the aromatics seem to be travelling on a faster trajectory. That said, the cork on this bottle was not perfect. Readers who own the 2005 will want to check in on it.
