Grape varieties and terroir

Harmonious assembly:

- Merlot (35%): charm, roundness and volume in the mouth
- Cabernet Franc (45%): freshness, tension, floral complexity
- Cabernet Sauvignon (20%): structure and persistence

The vines grow on clay-limestone and sandy-clay soils, giving the wine both richness and verticality. Biodynamics reinforces the pure expression of the terroir.

Tasting

Color: Deep garnet red, with purple highlights.

Nose: Intense and refined, revealing aromas of fresh red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant), violet, liquorice, with subtle touches of sweet spices and a chalky minerality.

Palate: Straight and precise attack, silky and airy mouth, with elegant and melted tannins. The finish is long and saline, offering a beautiful tension, typical of the vintage.

Storage Potential

Accessible young for its freshness, this Château Canon La Gaffelière 2021 will improve for another 15 to 20 years, developing tertiary aromas (truffle, leather, undergrowth).

Food and Wine Pairings

Perfect companion for:

- Roasted veal fillet mignon
- Duck breast with red fruits
- Suckling lamb with thyme
- Risotto with chanterelles
- Soft ripened cheeses (Brie de Meaux, Saint-Nectaire)

The 2021 vintage, more fresh and elegant than sunny, offers a precise cuvée, bursting with fruit and superb mineral tension.
