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 is currently a Premier Grand Cru Classé B in the official 2022 Saint-Émilion Classification. This is the 2010 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A full-bodied and opulent wine, with a solid focus on its core of ripe fruit, complemented by notes of liquorice and herbs.

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Canon la Gaffeliere delivers classic plum preserves, boysenberries and cigar box scents with wafts of underbrush, dried roses and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid line of grainy tannins and racy freshness supporting the dense fruit, finishing with compelling purity and great length. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2010 Canon-la-Gaffelière has quite a compact nose, backward and rather surly compared to its peers. It feels a little Left Bank in style with light pencil shaving aromas developing. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, a fine bead of acidity, nicely structured with a grippy, quite spicy and forthright finish that feels reassuringly persistent. Very promising, but it needs another couple of years in bottle. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Neal Martin1st April 2020
