Chateau Canon Lagaffeliere Saint Emilion Grand Cru

 The History

Chateau La Gaffeliere seems emerging from History. Through the presence of its vines since the Gailo-Roman era, its name dragged from the leprous hospital or« gaffet » in the mediaeval epoch, and the owners grand genealogy; the Malet Roquefort family, living for 4 centuries in Saint-Emilion, is acknowledged as the most ancient family of the area.

The Grape

60% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note

The 2011 reveals a soft, sexy style with lots of Christmas fruitcake notes intermixed with cedarwood, spice box, black currants and kirsch. Fleshy and fat with impressive purity, texture and length, it can be enjoyed over the next 10 -14 years.
