2018 Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

Sale price $115.00/per bottle | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Drink or Cellar

The 2018 Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is a stunning example of modern Saint-Émilion, balancing opulence with precision. The estate’s limestone-clay soils absorbed the warmth of the vintage, creating Merlot with luscious ripeness and Cabernet Franc with vibrant aromatics. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and crushed violets lead to a velvety palate of dark fruit, cocoa, and graphite, framed by fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish that promises decades of aging.

This has a lovely core of mulled cassis, damson plum and raspberry reduction notes, framed with an applewood note that integrates nicely while red tea, savory and chalky mineral notes develop through the finish. Restrained style, precise and very long. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2038. 5,833 cases made.

Fantastic depth and richness to the nose with plums, mushrooms, bark and some mahogany. Full-bodied, tight and focused with very fine tannins and a long, creamy finish. Lovely polish, balance and clarity. Drink after 2025.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Canon la Gaffeliere out of the gate delivers a seductive nose of plum preserves, kirsch and Black Forest cake with nuances of lilacs, underbrush, Indian spices and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with black fruit preserves and loads of spicy accents, supported by chewy tannins and well-balanced freshness, finishing long and savory.
