Located at the foot of the hill south of the medieval village of Saint- Emilion , the terroir of Château Canon La Gaffelière is made up of clay-limestone and clay-sandy soils, very filtering, particularly receptive to heat. Due to the nature of the soils, the grape varieties have an atypical structure with regard to the appellation, characterized by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. On this terroir, where maturation takes place very early, the Cabernets flourish remarkably, bringing to the opulence of the Merlot a power and an aromatic complexity which are the basis of the natural elegance and finesse of the wines of Canon La Gaffelière.
