Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1995

Canon La Gaffeliere has been one of Bordeaux's bright shining stars since the late eighties. The great success this property has enjoyed continues with a sterling effort in 1993. The 1993 boasts a saturated, opaque, plum/purple color, and a knock-out bouquet of jammy blackcurrants, licorice, smoke, and flowers. Full-bodied and highly-extracted, with a sweet, expansive chewiness, this super-concentrated, moderately-tannic wine will drink well young and age gracefully for 15 or more years. This is an outstanding, impressively-endowed 1993.

Wine Spectator, January 1996

One of the great young wines we have tasted this year. A stupendous, silky, full-bodied red of great character and depth, deep color and tons of pure fruit. Layered with mineral, mint, blackberry and dried herb flavors. Long finish and well-integrated tannins make it tempting now, but try to wait until 2000. 6,600 cases made.

About Winery

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is owned by Comte von Neipperg. Located in the centre of the St.Emilion appellation, due south of St.Emilion town, the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by both St.Emilion and Pomerol: more continental than the maritime Médoc, with generally more spring rainfall, though less in summer and winter. Canon-la-Gaffelière's 19.5 hectares of vineyards (Merlot 55%, Cabernet Franc 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%) lie at the base of the`Côtes', on relatively flat, sandy-gravel topsoil and sandy-clay subsoil. Vinification at Canon-la-Gaffelière is traditional: up to 4 weeks in temperature-controlled-wooden vats followed by up to 18 months' maturation in oak barrels, 50% new. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé.
