Château la Gaffelière 2017
Bordeaux - Saint-Émilion - 1er Cru Classé - Red Wine -Château La Gaffelière is the property of the Malet Roquefort family, the oldest owners in Saint Emilion. Classified as 1er Grand Cru B, the wines of the Château are typical Saint-Emilion with a predominance of Merlot.
The 2017 vintage is a great success and is now delicious to drink. It has a dark red colour. On the nose, one discovers a beautiful medium intensity, fruity and ripe. On the palate, we find lightness, the wine is tasty with a long and smooth finish.
Wine Advocate (Robert Parker) Tasting Notes: 97/100
The 2017 La Gaffeliere is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the nose is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal fragrant scents of kirsch, black raspberries and warm plums plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars, rosehip tea and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate has fantastic elegance and sophistication, with tons of bright, perfumed fruit and exquisitely ripe tannins, finishing with bags of freshness and energy. Since the lower-lying sections of La Gaffeliere were affected by frost this year, this wine mainly comes from the section up on the Saint-Émilion plateau, near Ausone. Truly impressive!
Our advice 12bottles: We like young wines, this one, decanted 2 hours before serving, is a pure delight on a cheese platter or white meat.
