Generations of Neipperg Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Neipperg's Generations is the entry point into the world of one of Saint-Émilion's most famous wineries — accessible, but with real depth.

The Counts of Neipperg have cultivated vineyards on the right bank of Bordeaux for centuries. Today, Stephan von Neipperg manages the family estate, which, in addition to the famous Château Canon-la-Gaffelière, also includes several other properties in Saint-Émilion. Cultivation and winemaking adhere to organic principles—the soils are worked without synthetic pesticides, allowing the terroir to speak for itself.

In the glass, the wine displays the classic profile of the Merlot-dominated Saint-Émilion: dark blackberry and plum, underpinned by cocoa and a hint of cinnamon bark. The tannins are soft, the body medium-full, and the finish pleasantly long with a touch of spice.

Vignobles Comtes von Neipperg

Château Canon La Gaffelière – Saint-Émilion with character. Nestled at the foot of the hillside south of the old town, on clay-limestone and clay-sand soils with high heat retention. Here, an unusual balance thrives: Merlot meets Cabernet Sauvignon, which ripens exceptionally well in the warm soils. This gives the wines power, aromatic complexity – and natural elegance. In the cellar: slow vinification, no excessive temperatures. Each batch of wine is individually aged on its fine lees, with minimal intervention. Entirely in keeping with the typicity of the vintage. Canon La Gaffelière – wine with finesse.
