Bright ruby-red. Perfumed, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, espresso and spices. Juicy, fresh and primary, with a distinctly wild quality to the spicy dark fruit flavors. A serious, intensely flavored wine that gets its energy from the limestone soil. Finishes juicy and persistent, with a touch of dryness but very good length. A very promising follow-up to the 2005. Rating: 87-90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2007)

Shows bright berry and mineral fruit character. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow midpalate. Rating: 85-88 James Suckling, The Wine Spectator (May 2007)

Château Canon La Gaffelière

Château Canon La Gaffelière started out life with two seperate names. It was known as Canon Boitard and La Gaffelière-Boitard in the 19th century. Skipping ahead to modern history, in 1969, Count Joseph-Hubert von Neipperg purchased the Bordeaux wine estate in 1971. The von Neipperg family remain the owners today. Stephan von Neipperg manages the property as well as several other St. Emilion estates owned by the family. The Bordeaux wine property is located south of the St. Emilion village. It’s not far from La Gaffeliere. The terroir is sand and clay. The sandy topsoil adds more sand when you travel further from the slopes. The slope soil has a large concentration of clay. There is also a thick vein of clay in the subsoil, at a depth of between 70 and 150 cm.
