Canon-La-Gaffelière 2012 - Saint-Emilion

CANON LA GAFFELIERE 2012 - SAINT-EMILION

The terroir of Château Canon La Gaffelière is located at the foot of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion.

The soils are clayey-limestone and sandy, well filtering and receptive to heat. Thus, the grape varieties are of an atypical structure compared to the appellation represented by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. The Cabernets develop wonderfully, bringing to the opulence of the Merlots power and aromatic complexity producing wines of natural elegance and finesse.

The plot lots are vinified in a homogeneous manner. The vinification phases are carried out gently to express the best of the harvest. The aging is done on fine lees to bring out the qualities specific to the wine.

Respect for the vine is essential and interventions are minimal in order to allow each vintage to express itself fully.
