Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere 2017

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is a prestigious estate in Saint-Émilion, classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé B. The estate is located in the eastern part of the appellation, near Château Angélus, and is renowned for producing elegant, powerful, and expressive Right Bank Bordeaux wines.

Showcasing the estate’s Merlot-dominant elegance and Cabernet Franc structure. The vintage in 2017 was marked by a cooler, uneven growing season with some spring frost and variable summer rainfall, which produced wines with moderate alcohol, bright freshness, and precise, restrained fruit rather than opulent ripeness.

On the nose, it reveals aromas of black cherries, plum, and red currant, complemented by cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. Floral hints, reminiscent of violets, and a delicate earthy minerality reflect the limestone-clay terroir. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained, polished tannins that give structure without heaviness. The fruit is precise and focused, leaning more toward fresh red berries than jammy richness, with hints of cocoa and soft spice appearing toward the finish. The acidity is bright, balancing the wine’s structure, and the finish is long, elegant, and mineral-driven.
