Intensity defines 2022 Château Canon La Gaffelière: dense blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit are shot through with floral lift, spice and a stony, saline edge that keeps this powerful Saint-Émilion remarkably vivid for such a warm year. The palate is full and concentrated yet sophisticated in texture, with ripe, fine-grained tannins that spread broadly and a long, resonant finish that feels both plush and bright.

Château Canon-La Gaffelière is a Premier Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion from the Bordeaux right bank, crafted by the von Neipperg family from predominantly Merlot with a high proportion of Cabernet Franc on warm, sandy foothill soils below the Saint-Émilion côtes. Known for its shift from ultra-modern, ultra-extractive winemaking toward a more restrained, terroir-driven style since the early 2000s, the wine typically combines ripe dark fruit, spice, and floral notes with refined tannins and notable aging potential.
