— In the tapestry of Bordeaux vintages, 2011 is frequently eclipsed by the iconic surrounding years. However, the 2011 Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere challenges this oversight with remarkable poise and complexity.
— A harmony between the Merlot's plushness, Cabernet Franc's aromatic vigour, and Cabernet Sauvignon's structural backbone.
— Sourced from a premium private cellar

Tasting Notes

Its bouquet unfurls with blackcurrants and hints of graphite, evoking drills into mineral-rich terroir. This is flanked by notes of cherries and plums that strike a chord with savoury undertones. On the palate, it dances between power and elegance; tannins grip yet graciously yield to the wine's inherent fluidity. Revelatory sips unearth layers: tobacco leaf, anise, and a whisper of truffle – signatures of a vintage maturing gracefully yet with ample liveliness.

Scores

93 / 100

"Stephan von Neipperg's wine rarely disappoints, even in more difficult vintages, and this is no exception. Fresh and fragrant with notes of cedarwood and tobacco, lively acidity and fine tannins. A wine that is beautifully framed and understated, yet should age well if past vintages are a guide."
- Tim Atkin MW
