Anmeldelser af Château Canon la Gaffelière Saint-Émilion Cru Classé 2019

96-98/100 Jeb Dunnuck
”Another tour de force in the Comtes von Neipperg lineup, 2019 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière reveals a dense purple/ruby color as well as complex, full-bodied aromas and flavors of red and black currants, tobacco, forest floor, and spicy, floral nuances. Showing the vintage's ripe, sexy, yet also elegant style perfectly, it has silky tannins, a voluptuous, layered mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and a great finish. Drink this brilliant Saint-Emilion on release and over the following 20-30 years.”

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2109 Canon la Gaffeliere opens with an incredibly evocative perfume of lilacs, Morello cherries,blackraspberries, jasmine and Sichuan pepper over a core of ripe black plums,wild blueberries and dark chocolate with touches of iron ore and cumin seed. The Medium tofull-bodied palate reveals an edifying intensity of electric blue and black fruit layers,supported by a rock-solid frame of firm, finely grained tannins and boldfreshness,finishing long with a firework display of fruit, mineral and spicy nuanced. A thrilling wine from the get-go and one that should age very well!"

"Deepin color, initially you notice mint, flowers, forest leaf and red and black fruits. Rich, supple, silky and fresh, with an opulent, fruit-filled mid-palate and finish, the chalky sensations coming from crushed rocks, stone and a hint of spice with more of that gorgeous mint and pure pit fruits taste and feels just great in the finish. The wine was made from blending 49% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon."

"Blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors.It's medium-to full-bodied with polished,juicy tannins that give a dusty texture to the intense, rich finish. A traditional,classically structured and styled red."

95-96/100 Vert de Vin
“The nose is fruity, elegant, very finely tight and offers a fine grain, an aerial side. It reveals notes of ripe strawberry, crushed raspberry, small notes of ripe/juicy cassis associated with small touches of fresh cornflower, fresh lily as well as hints of small fresh/juicy fruits, fresh mild tobacco, very fine hints of spices and an imperceptible hint of chocolate. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, concentration, tension as well as finesse, a fine/racy grain, a beautiful definition of the fruit, juicy/ripe fruit and minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/ripe wild cassis, fresh violet, small notes of fresh/juicy raspberry associated with touches of tonka bean, zan, toasted, toasted almond as well as fine hints of sweet spices. Good length. Tannins are elegant, well-built and racy.”

Saftig, feine Fruchtsüße, reife Tannine, zarter Schokoladetouch im Abgang, ein harmonischer Speisenbegleiter, mineralischer Nachhall, sehr charmanter Stil.”

Om Château Canon la Gaffelière 

“Hvis du kan tale fransk, kan du også lave vin.” Beskeden var klar, da tyskfødte Grev Stephan von Neipperg i 1985 fik overdraget Canon-La-Gaffelière af sin far.

Stephan allierede sig med ønologen Stephane Derenoncourt, og der blev investeret heftigt i forbedring af beplantninger og produktionsfaciliteter. Det ultimative duelighedsbevis kom i 2012, da rødvinen blev forfremmet til Premier Grand Cru Classé B. Så fulgte en plads som nr. 7 på Wine Spectators Top 100, og de forjættede 100 point ligger næppe langt ude i fremtiden.

Siden 2014 certificeret økologisk, og der eksperimenteres med biodynamiske praksisser.
