CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2019 Canon-la-Gaffeliere is quite punchy and bold on the nose. Blackberry and raspberry fruit, cedar and mint emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, quite plush yet cohesive, fanning out towards the velvety finish with a brush of white pepper on the aftertaste. One of the more approachable Saint-Emilion wines in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
William Kelley
The 2019 Canon la Gaffeliere has turned out brilliantly, bursting from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of wild berries, blood orange, exotic spices, rose petals, violets and burning embers. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's supple and perfumed, with a deep core of lively fruit, melting tannins and a long, saline finish. This contains the highest proportion of Cabernet Franc of any of Stephan Von Neipperg's wines, which no doubt helps to account for its singular personality.

49% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. Organic certified by FR-BIO-10.Deep garnet with some development at the rim. Notable mature aromas of cedary undergrowth and a slightly leathery texture. But the development shows fruit and tannins remaining in harmony. Smooth, compact, fresh on the long finish. (JH)
