La Gaffeliere 2019

La Gaffeliere

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Straddling the fine line between tradition and modernity, Château La Gaffelière have created an excellent wine that is emblematic of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The château exists in a unique location on the slopes nestled between Pavie and Ausone on an ancient site that was once thought to have been a Roman estate. The 22-hectare vineyard is grown on three terroirs that comprise a limestone plateau and siliceous soil, and is planted with Merlot (c.70%) and Cabernet Franc (c.30%). The end result? A distinctive, characterful wine that is both racy and silky.

The most gorgeous depth and complexity through the palate, with touches of mineral pulsing and salinity on the finish, a ton of brambled blackberry, raspberry puree, tobacco leaf, leather and raspberry leaf fruit. 60% new oak. Brilliant wine. Owned by the Malet-Roquefort family since 1715, with Stephane Derenoncourt consultant since 2004. I love this, and it has delivered on its En Primeur promise.

James Lawther MW

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc. Purple hue. Elegant and composed, the nose gently fragrant with dark-berry and subtle toasted oak notes. Palate juicy and refreshing, the fruit layered and appetising. Silky texture, the tannins extremely refined. Long and clean with a zesty but dry finish. Harmonious and precise. (JL)
