Critics Scores
Tim Atkin
Bright and vibrant red and black fruit aromas, no obvious new oak. Rounded tannins and soft fruit in balance. Good fresh acidity, but plenty of flesh, weight and structure. Ripe and soft finish.
Jeb Dunnuck
Incorporating plenty of second-generation grapes, the deep purple-hued 2017 Canon-La-Gaffeliere checks in as 60 Merlot, 30Cabernet Franc, and 10 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a fresher, racier Saint-Emilion that has good acidity, fine tannins, and medium body, yet good concentration and balance. Give this outstanding 2017 4-6 years, and it will keep for at least two decades. Rating:92+
Wine Spectator
Features a deliciously ripe and inviting core of plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors, backed by anise and apple wood notes. Juicy in feel through the finish, with the fruit lingering. Tobacco and iron accents wait in reserve. Cellar for maximum effect. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2038.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Canon la Gaffeliere comes roaring out of the glass with exuberant notes of baked blackberries, blueberry compote and redcurrant jelly plus hints of forest floor, dried roses and cedar chest with a waft of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic density with a firm frame of finely grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with lingering layers of bright, energetic fruit.
James Suckling
A linear, tight red with currant and fresh-herb aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a bright finish. Clean and lively. Drink in 2021 and onwards.
Decanter
The sexy, rich kick of Canon la Gaffelière is on full display, giving a counterpoint to the saline limestone character that tightens things through the finish. Menthol almost spearmint finish, this is a good wine that has gained in complexity over ageing. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040
Wine Enthusiast
This open wine brings out delicious black-currant fruits as well as the essential core of dark tannins. The solid backbone will stand the wine in good stead as it matures, softening the juicy, forward fruitiness. Drink from 2023.
