Merchant's description
Owned by Count Stephan von Neipperg since 1985, Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is a prestigious wine estate situated in the Saint-Émilion appellation. The 1993 vintage is a blend composed of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A perfectly mature wine with fully integrated tannins, and a nose evocative of cigar box, liquorice, wet earth and violets, all beautifully balanced.
