A sleek, refined wine that should age well."</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>92/100 James Suckling</strong></span></span><br /> "This is very refined and pretty for the vintage with plum, berry and light chocolate character. It’s almost Burgundian in texture and weight. Shows the finesse of the cabernet franc in the blend. Very fine indeed."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>92/100 Wine Enthusiast</strong></span></span><br /> "Great juicy black fruits shine through this rich and complex wine that shows considerable style. The aftertaste is full of fresher acidity and juicy berry fruits."</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong><em><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">91/100 Vinous<br /> 91/100 Robert Parker</span></em></strong></span></span></p> <h2><strong><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Bag om Château Canon la Gaffelière </span></span></strong></h2> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">“Hvis du kan tale fransk, kan du også lave vin.” Beskeden var klar, da tyskfødte Grev Stephan von Neipperg i 1985 fik overdraget Canon-La-Gaffelière af sin far.</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Stephan allierede sig med ønologen Stephane Derenoncourt, og der blev investeret heftigt i forbedring af beplantninger og produktionsfaciliteter. Det ultimative duelighedsbevis kom i 2012, da rødvinen blev forfremmet til Premier Grand Cru Classé B. Så fulgte en plads som nr. 7 på Wine Spectators Top 100, og de forjættede 100 point ligger næppe langt ude i fremtiden.</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Siden 2014 certificeret økologisk, og der eksperimenteres med biodynamiske praksisser.</span></span></em></p>
