Chteau Canon La Gaffelires terroir consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soil that is very permeable and particularly efficient at retaining heat. The choice of grape varieties is rather atypical for the appellation in light of the soil: almost a perfect 50/50 divide between Merlot and Cabernet.

93 pts James Suckling (2019 vintage)
The 2019 Les Hauts De Canon La-Gaffeliere is a stunning Bordeaux blend. This full-bodied red wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, it has aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with hints of tobacco, cedar, and spice. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis, along with notes of tobacco, cedar, and spice. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering. This is a complex and balanced wine. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for up to 10 years.
