Château La Gaffelière
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2018 vintage. Celebrating the 60th vintage of the de Malet Roquefort family, the label is a copy of the 1959 label. A blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Franc. A bit shy at first, give it some time to open up and get rewarded with complex aromatics combining red and black fruits, flowers, spices and cigar box. Concentrated, with a tight tannic structure and fresh acidity. It's not a very flashy wine, but a very classic aristocratic wine build to age gracefully for decades. Wait at least 10 years to see a glimpse of the true potential of this beauty. Will merit a higher score in the future I am sure. Still reasonably priced for a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Abv. 14,5 %
