Château Canon-La-Gaffelière
Château Canon-La-Gaffelière sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The estate's flagship Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Premier Grand Cru Classé) blends Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, anchored by the region's signature plumpness and structure. A secondary offering, Les Hauts de Canon la Gaffelière, reverses the ratio, leading with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot—a leaner, more mineral expression of the same terroir. Both wines have drawn assessment from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. The winery's position within Saint-Émilion's classified hierarchy reflects the precision demanded of this appellation, where clay and limestone soils yield wines of depth and aging potential.
