DESCRIPTION
2018 brought the vines generous rainfall during the growing season, as well as drought and warmth during ripening and harvest.
These were almost ideal conditions for obtaining rich and complex grapes. Remarkably well-structured, always elegant, and infallibly long on the palate,
Château Canon La Gaffelière impressively illustrates Stephan von Neipperg's reorientation.

The 2018 Château Canon La Gaffelière, Saint Emilion is aged in oak barrels.
The vintage contains 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
