2018 Château La Gaffelière, St Emilion
Product: 2018-0750-00-8124315
Description
Alexandre de Malet Roquefort’s family has owned La Gaffelière since 1705. The vineyard is superbly sited by Ausone, with other plots by Pavie and Pavie Macquin, and this potential is beginning to be recognised. The 2018 has fine minerality and perfume, and very sleek tannins. Polished, but not plush, the finish is fine-grained. Drink 2023-2035.
Blend: 58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc
