From the limestone and clay-limestone terroir of Saint-Émilion, Château La Gaffelière 2003 (1er Grand Cru Classé B) blends Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Nose of black fruits, violet and spices. Silky palate, fine tannins, mineral finish. Ideal with braised meats, to be enjoyed by 2030.
A family estate rooted in the prestigious terroir of Saint-Émilion, where the viticultural heritage has been passed down since 1705.
- Terroir : 22 hectares in the "Golden Triangle" of Saint-Émilion, combining limestone plateau, clay-limestone slopes and siliceous soils for a mineral and complex expression.
- Vinification : A plot-by-plot blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, precisely aged to reveal the balance between roundness and tannic structure.
Tasting Notes for Château La Gaffelière 2003
To the eye – A deep red robe with garnet hues, dense and luminous, heralding a generous and silky body.
On the nose – Aromas of wild blackberry and blackcurrant mingle with notes of fresh violet, then evolve toward hints of soft spices and a subtle chalky minerality.
On the palate – The texture is velvety, carried by a lively acidity and a fine tannic framework, while the long and saline finish leaves an impression of purity and elegance.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its aromas.
Vintage 2003
A vintage marked by intense summer heat, yielding full-bodied and structured wines where the ripeness of the tannins combines with a surprising freshness.
- Aging Potential : To be cellared until 2030 under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
