2025 Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Canon La Gaffelière is bright and beautifully focused right out of the gate. Orange peel, sage, mint, pipe tobacco, dried flowers and mocha soar out of the glass. Floral aromatics and brisk saline notes are the signatures in a tightly wound Canon La Gaffelière that is going to need a number of years to be at its most expressive. I especially admire the energy here. Drink 2033-2055.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

A deep and layered young red with blackberry, black olive and white pepper character with a full body and savory fruit. White pepper and other spices. Depth with elegance. Extremely well crafted. A blend of 45% cabernet franc, 40% merlot and 15% cabernet sauvignon.

A lighter, more herbal-styled wine based on 40% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers juicy red fruits, sappy flowers, graphite, tobacco, and a kiss of minerality on the nose. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with fine, polished tannins and a good finish. It's a more Cabernet-dominated effort from this château, and while I'd love to see a touch more generosity here, it's beautifully balanced, and I suspect it will gain volume over the course of its élevage.

Beautiful aromatics, floral notes and Chinese five spice with some sweet red berry fruit. Juicy and lifted, a really lovely calm, chiselled and soft frame with velvety tannins and ripe but cool fruit. Acidity is not too tight and this has a generous but controlled element. Balanced and poised but maybe missing a touch more density of fruit. Lovely layering of texture and aromatic complexity. Drink 2030-2048.
