Located south of the medieval city of Saint-Émilion, Château Canon-La-Gaffelière has been under the direction of Stephan von Neipperg since 1983. Belonging to a German family steeped in viticulture for nearly 8 centuries, Stephan von Neipperg manages Château Canon-La-Gaffelière with passion and talent, following a decidedly modern approach to viticulture.
