Clos La Gaffelière - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2021 :

 

Clos La Gaffelière: The Elegant Second Wine of a Premier Grand Cru Classé

Representing the excellence of Bordeaux's Right Bank, Clos La Gaffelière is the high-quality second wine from the renowned Château La Gaffelière. It is produced from carefully selected parcels on the estate’s clay-limestone slopes, providing a classically structured yet more immediately gratifying Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This is a wine that consistently over-delivers, reflecting the meticulous standards of the de Malet Roquefort family.

Tasting Profile & Terroir

• Appearance: A rich, deep ruby colour.
• Aroma: A defined bouquet of dark forest fruits, including mulberry, blackcurrant, and plum, complemented by earthy undertones, mulling spice, and a delicate touch of fine oak.
• Taste: The palate is generous, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with the Merlot dominance providing a lush, rounded mouthfeel. The tannins are fine-grained and integrated, leading to a long, clean, and elegant finish.

Serving Suggestion

This wine is built for the table. Decanting for an hour is recommended if enjoyed in its youth. Pair it with traditional British Sunday roasts or mature cheeses. Serve at cellar temperature (17°C).
