Château La Gaffelière Saint Emilion 1gccb 2020 0,75l

Château La Gaffelière is a historic family estate in Saint-Émilion, classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Its 22-hectare single vineyard lies between Ausone and Pavie on clay-limestone slopes and more siliceous soils at the foot of the hill. Merlot dominates the plantings, with Cabernet Franc providing lift and structure. The bouquet offers red and black berries, raspberry and cherry alongside tobacco, graphite and a distinct limestone minerality. On the palate La Gaffelière is silky and tense, with fine-grained tannins, juicy fruit and a long, elegant finish that showcases the precision of its terroir.
