Canon La Gaffelière 2012 presents itself with a deep ruby hue, characteristic of a robust vintage. This wine features pronounced blackcurrant and black cherry notes, complemented by subtle hints of spices and earthy undertones. The blend, predominantly Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, achieves a full-bodied structure and a notable 13.5% alcohol content. The estate, under the stewardship of Comtes von Neipperg, has undergone significant transformation, moving away from a previously lacklustre reputation.
