2024 Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere
A blend of 43% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Franc and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Canon la Gaffelière is a bit dark and brooding, revealing aromas of iris, flowers, gentian and oak mingled with a delicate reduction. Moderately weighted, chewy and compact, it has a lively mid-palate, brittle tannins and a spicy, licorice-inflected finish. ~ (91) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-23-2025
Soft ruby in colour, medium intensity, rose petals on the nose, light, fragrant and delicate, red fruits, wild strawberries, white flowers, really pretty and well handled. 42 hl/ha yield, 30% new oak for ageing. Tasted twice, good quality. Harvest 25 September to 5 October. 30% new oak ~ (92) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-9-2025
Dark- and red-berry fruit. Blackberry notes to the fore. Slightly robust on the palate but there’s energy and character here. ~ (16) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-10-2025
The 2024 Canon La Gaffelière was picked from September 25 to October 5 and aged in 30% new oak. This has a light and airy bouquet with tertiary red fruit and touches of tobacco coming through slowly in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a tiny bit of greenness on the entry, although I feel it will assimilate with time. This just needs more density and grip on the finish, so it is a Canon-la-Gaffelière that I would broach in the medium term. ~ (91) Neal Martin, Vinous 4-30-2025
The 2024 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière checks in as 43% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, resting in 30% new oak. It has solid ripeness in its red and black fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and spicy nuances. It's medium-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. ~ (93) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-9-2025
The 2024 Canon-La-Gaffelière is all class. Delicate and pliant, the 2024 is another fine offering in this range from Stephan von Neipperg. Dark red-toned fruit, pomegranate, spice, blood orange, new leather and pipe tobacco build in the glass. Like all the wines here, Canon-La-Gaffelière is on the lighter side, but it very much retains all of its signatures. Exquisite. ~ (96) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-29-2025
A polished CLG with berries and medium body, this is very fine and linear in the finish. Citrus and crushed-stone undertones. White pepper. From organically grown grapes. ~ (94) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-29-2025
