MAY Wine Offer (cOLLECTION ONLY)
Château Clos La Gaffelière, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 14%vol. 2016 €60.00
The blend is usually a large majority of Merlot, up to 90% and the rest of Cabernet Franc.
Second wine of Château La Gaffelière, born in 1985, Clos La Gaffelière has his own vat room and cellars.
The Clos La Gaffelière Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is a very elegant wine. The wine has a nice fresh red colour with fresh red and dark berries on the nose, as well as light mocha and herbs from the Middle East.
The palate has spicy flavours with soft, fine tannins and an attractive full body.
Ageing is done, in large part, in one- and two-years old barrels.
The work in the plots of Clos is made by the same team of Chateau La Gaffelière 1er Grand Cru Classé so much pruning (both the grapes and the leaves) and everything is handpicked by experienced pickers so that a first selection already takes place in the vineyard. The same process is also followed in the Chateau as with the first wine with the difference between that with its big brother that this wine only has one year of new French oak barrels maturing. The wine is already fine to drink but will refine a little over the years.
Sold by 6 or 12 (not individually)
