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.
88 Vinous
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. Neal Martin27th September 2022
87 The Wine Independent
The 2012 Canon la Gaffeliere is medium to deep garnet colored. It is showing its age, with notes of tobacco, fruitcake, and iodine over a core of stewed cherries and prunes. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is a little lean and fading slightly, finishing abruptly. Drink up!Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023
