The second wine of Château La Gaffelière, the 2022 Clos La Gaffelière is a beautiful Saint-Émilion offering blue fruits, violets, and a touch of chalky earth and spice. Medium-bodied, pure, and layered, it has solid, ripe tannins and a well-balanced, elegant profile. Drink bottles over the coming decade.

Dark and ripe on the nose, tangy and fresh, a lovely clean, crisp aspect to the strawberry, red cherry and creamy vanilla blueberries giving freshness and cool minerality. Well delivered, has a style about this with definition and detail and above all really appealing acidity that gives lift and a lot of life. Should round out nicely offering lots of easy drinking appeal and unfussy enjoyment. 3.5pH. 3.7 g/L total acidity. Ageing for 12 months, 50% new barrels, 50% steel. Harvest September 6 - September 28. HVE3 certified.

Concentrated with a ton of spice, bright and powerful dark cassis and bilberry fruit, and a saline kick on the finish. One of the real value wines of the vintage, has a huge sense of character, great architecture, and silky tannins.
