Chateau Clos La Gaffeliere 2018

Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

2nd wine of Chateau La Gaffeliere

Château Clos La Gaffelière 2018, a Merlot-dominant blend with 30% Cabernet Franc, offers a captivating reflection of its historic Saint-Émilion terroir. This vintage greets the nose with intense aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and hints of violet, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and cedar from its 12 to 15 months of ageing in French oak barrels. On the palate, it reveals a plush texture with layers of dark fruit flavours, complemented by fine tannins and well-balanced acidity. The limestone plateau, clay-limestone slopes, and silica-rich soils contribute to a nuanced minerality, culminating in a long, elegant finish. This wine embodies the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Château La Gaffelière, standing as a testament to its esteemed lineage.
