Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion
- Canon la Gaffeliere embodies generations of viticultural mastery on the Right Bank. This historic estate has refined its winemaking through decades of careful stewardship, producing wines of remarkable consistency and breeding.
- A wine of considerable refinement: structured yet elegant, complex yet pure. The palate reveals layers of ripe fruit and spice, underpinned by fine, well-integrated tannins that speak to serious cellaring potential.
- This is a wine worthy of your cellar. The 2020 vintage demonstrates the depth and ageing capacity that defines Premier Grand Cru Classé status, developing further complexity over the coming years.

In the mouth
The palate is fleshy and well-structured, with fine tannins that provide framework without harshness. Good mid-palate weight and a clean, persistent finish that speaks to the wine's breeding and balance.
On the nose
Ripe red fruits dominate the bouquet—cherry and plum—with subtle spice notes and a whisper of oak integration. The aromatics are composed and refined, neither showy nor austere.
On the eye
Deep garnet, with the colour intensity characteristic of well-ripened Merlot-based blends.
Breeding
15 to 18 months in new oak barrels (60 %), on fine lees
Excellent with game birds and red meat dishes of substance. The wine's structure and tannin profile make it particularly suited to venison, wild boar, or a well-hung pheasant. Also rewarding simply with aged cheeses. Drinking well now, but will develop further complexity over the next decade.
