Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2016
/100
Høst fra 26. september til 15. oktober med lidt over 40 hektoliter pr. hektar. Vinen har været certificeret økologisk siden 2014. 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Godt 30 dages gæring, 60 % nyt træ. Jordbunden består af sand på kalkholdigt ler. Omlægningen til økologisk vindyrkning har ført til en markant ændring i smagen af Canon la Gaffelière i løbet af de sidste 5-6 år. Den er blevet meget finere. Mindre tung, meget friskere. Mynte dominerer i dag. Cabernet Franc er også i front her. Modne, kogte hindbær og alligevel ekstremt fin, bærfrugtafledt syre. Udstråler stor finesse, ekstremt aromatisk. Meget kompleks og bred. Brombærret er aldrig fedt, solbærret er sødt. Hindbær gifter sig med brombær. Den passer perfekt og er stadig frisk. Den viser næsten lidt supermodne rabarber, moden appelsin og grapefrugt. 2015 havde allerede denne udstråling, dynamik og spænding. Hvad gør den anderledes end 2015? 2016 er måske lidt mere sprællende, legende, lidt mere elegant i sin syre, med på samme tid massive, men ultramodne, fine, polerede tanniner. Det overordnede indtryk af større friskhed kombineret med større dybde er nok den største forskel. Vi har to store vine i begge årgange. Men jeg mener, at 2016 har et betydeligt større potentiale med hensyn til lagring. Jeg kunne sagtens finde på at lægge den i ilden i 40 år eller mere. Dette er 2015 med et plus i friskhed og moden tanninintensitet med tilsvarende intense smagsnuancer. Alt er meget præcist. Den tanninrige finish er også meget flot med et fint spor af salt og en klar mineralitet. Det er svært at skelne 2015 fra 2016 med hensyn til kvalitet. På meget lang sigt vil 2016 dog have overtaget. En perfekt vin.

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
The 2016 Canon la Gaffeliere has a deep garnet color. It bursts on the scene with exuberant notes of juicy blackberries, plum preserves, and fruit cake, plus suggestions of clove oil, mocha, and Indian spices. The full-bodied palate is full-on rich and decadent, featuring velvety tannins and just enough freshness to match the concentrated black fruit and spicy layers, finishing with epic length.

International Wine Report om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
The 2016 Château Canon la Gaffelière is another sensational release from Stephan von Neipperg. Composed of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the clay-limestone/clay-sand soils at the south-foot of the slope. It was aged in new oak barrels (60%) on the lees for 17 months. The wine itself begins to impress with its aromas of dark raspberries and red currants woven together with fresh spring florals, tobacco, toast and hints of topsoil all taking shape beautifully in the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous medium-plus body with an outstanding plush texture, together with wonderful overall structure and balance. It displays excellent precision and definition through the long, complex finish. While this is already showing early appeal, readers should plan on cellaring this for at least 5 years. This is a special wine from this estate. 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
The aromas are very complex with sweet tobacco, black truffles, blueberries and blackberries. Subtle. Menthol, too. Full-bodied yet so elegant. Structure with finesse and purity. The tannins are melted in the wine. Fabulous young wine. Try tasting it from 2023. 96/100

Galloni om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
The 2016 Canon La Gaffelière is just as striking from bottle as it was from barrel. Bright, intensely aromatic and precise, the 2016 has it all. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and rose petal all race through this silky, super-expressive Saint-Émilion. In 2016, Canon La Gaffelière is especially polished, refined and nuanced, which means also less overly powerful than in the past. It was compelling both times I tasted it from bottle. 96/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
A super wine combining concentration, elegance, silky tannins and an array of floral, stone, cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and smoky essences. Give this at least a decade before popping a cork and enjoy it for the next 20 years after that. 96/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
This pulls a lot of red and black currant, fig and boysenberry pâte de fruit notes together, wraps them with a brambly thread and then drives them through an anise- and apple wood-edged finish. It’s all tightly wound, but it’s all there for the long haul. Really, really solid. 95-98/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere 1er Grand Cru Classe B
Dark and intense, this wine has immense fruit and equally immense tannins. It is powered by its firm structure and concentration. There are hints of firm extraction, although it does not detract from the bold fruits. It should age well for many years. 95–97/100
Canon la Gaffeliere
Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere har helt sikkert været en af stjernerne i Saint Emilion, siden det blev overtaget af Stephan von Neipperg. Størstedelen af de 19 hektar vinmarker ligger i fladt terræn med sandjord ved foden af skråningerne. Blandt de ændringer, der har ført til vingårdens succes, er den...
