Summary

Château Canon-La Gaffelière 2001 is a distinguished red Bordeaux blend from the renowned Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. The estate, owned by Count Stephan von Neipperg since 1971, has undergone modernization emphasizing organic practices. This wine, crafted from a blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, showcases the classic 2001 vintage with a late harvest and aging in new French oak. Tasting notes reveal a silky profile with layers of black cherry and cassis, complemented by tobacco and cedar. The wine exhibits a medium to full body, marked by sweet yet firm tannins, and an elegant finish that reflects its heritage and terroir.

Tasting Notes

WS93

Silky and charming, with perfumed juniper and tobacco details weaving around gently mulled cassis and black cherry flavors. The tobacco element blossoms through the finish, where some secondary notes emerge, but overall this stays very fresh.—Blind `01/`03/`05 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2017). Drink now through 2025. 4,275 cases made.

WA92

Made in a structured, tannic, restrained style (representative of the vintage’s overall personality), this medium to full-bodied 2001 exhibits scents of espresso roast, cedar, chocolate, black currants, and cherries. With sweet but noticeable tannin, exceptional multilayered flavors, and excellent texture, elegance as well as purity, it will be at its finest between 2005-2013.
