2023 Château La Gaffelière, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

The 500cl jeroboam case is available exclusively at Berry Bros. & Rudd.

Blend: 58% Merlot; 42% Cabernet Franc. 

This is another bull’s-eye from La Gaffelière. This year, 6% of the harvest is aged in new 500-litre barrels (44% in new, traditional Bordeaux barriques, the rest in second fill and 2% amphorae). This reduces the impact of oxygen and preserves freshness, but it also makes the wine harder for youth to read. Sitting at the bottom of the limestone slope below Ausone, La Gaffelière’s charm shows chalky freshness from the rock with the lower location's silky textures. The palate is like velour yet threaded with a whisper of gritty minerality. It is lovely and really very fine indeed, again. 

Drink 2029 - 2050

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
