18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Rubin, feiner Rand aussen. Intensives, zu Beginn leicht dropsig wirkendes Bouquet, Waldhimbeeren und heller Kaffe, eine feine Veilchennote darin. Im Gaumen muskulös, gut stützendes Tannin-Säuregerüst, zeigt Fett im Extrakt und ersten Charme, im Finale frucht und Würze zugleicht. Die reifen Cabernet Francs in der Assemblage werden eine gebührende Lebensversicherung abgeben. trinken (2010 - 2023)

91 Robert Parker
A brilliant achievement for proprietor Stefan von Neipperg, this blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an exuberant, cedary bouquet revealing scents of espresso roast, chocolate, pain grille, and sweet red and black fruits. Opulent and fleshy for a 2004, this sexy beauty offers plenty of purity, symmetry, and sweet tannin. It will provide enjoyment over the next 10-15 years.
91 Wine Spectator
Shows subtle yet focused aromas of forest fruits and flowers. Full-bodied, with fine tannins, lovely length and a focused berry, cherry and blackberry finish. I like the pure fruit and finesse. Best after 2011. 4,580 cases made. ?JS

Château Canon La Gaffelière
Château Canon-la-Gaffelière lies just south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion amongst the lower-lying limestone slopes of the appellation. The nearly 20-hectare vineyard is currently owned and run by Stéphan von Neipperg, who owns the Saint-Émilion Clos de l’Oratoire, as well as the overachieving Château d’Aiguilhe in Côtes de Castillon. Canon-la-Gaffelière is now one of von Neipperg’s remarkable labels, classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B property, the château fluently exemplifies his new vision. The style here, as with all of his wines, is sumptuous and supple, with meticulously unified oak and soft, velvety tannins making the blend unpredictably approachable after just three or four years’ patience. As of 2014, the estate has been completely Certified Organic. Headed by Stéphan, this step forward, supported by his tireless efforts in both the modernization of the viticulture and viniculture practices, are vital components that contribute to the château’s overall success. The Grand Vin, Canon-la-Gaffelière, vintage after vintage is elegant, well-structured and unfailing long on the palate.
