CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Canon-La-Gaffeliere is gorgeous, but it is also very closed today. I view that as a positive for its long-term prospects, but readers need to be patient here. The 2021 is a super-classic Canon-La-Gaffeliere redolent of strong floral and mineral accents. Its energy and sheer breeding are truly remarkable. I can't wait to taste it with bottle age. Bright saline notes extend the long, beautifully persistent finish. The 2021 was aged 40% in new oak, 20% in tank and the remainder in used oak and 400-liter barrels. This really pulses with energy.

35% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Certified organic (FR-BIO-10).Slightly muddy, concentrated garnet. Lifted and a little toasty. Sweet start and without real structure - as though they have been desperately fighting the elevated acid level? Loose-textured and ready to drink! (JR)
