Château La Gaffelière Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé 2014
Selected with intention
The 2014 Château La Gaffelière Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé is a vibrant and elegantly structured Right Bank Bordeaux, primarily Merlot with a significant Cabernet Franc component, benefiting from its prime location on the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. The 2014 vintage was a success for the Right Bank. The nose offers a complex and aromatic profile of red and black berries, plum, graphite, and a distinctive chalky minerality, interwoven with notes of violet and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a core of pure, fresh fruit. The acidity is bright and harmonious, leading to a long, elegant finish. This 2014 is drinking beautifully now, showcasing its refined complexity, and will continue to evolve over the next decade.
