Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:The 2016 La Gaffelière is superb. Vivid and precise. with layers of nuance. the 2016 is a wine of real clarity. Blood orange. lavender. rose petal and mint add brightness to this stunningly beautiful Saint-Émilion. La Gaffelière is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. and it is the Franc that gives the wine so much character and complexity. This is just an irresistibly captivating Saint-Émilion. Stéphane Derenoncourt and Simon Blanchard consult.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color. the 2016 La Gaffeliere opens with compelling wild blueberries. freshly crushed plums and kirsch scents plus hints of garrigue. underbrush. rose hip tea and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is wonderfully elegant with a soft. velvety texture and seamless freshness carrying the multilayered fruit to a long finish.
Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:This is really decadent and rich with great aromas of earth. spice. frost flowers and fresh mushrooms that follow through to a full body. firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Very. very serious from here. A blend of 70 per cent merlot and 30 per cent cabernet franc. Try after 2025.
