Vinous
The 2022 La Gaffeliere is drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Refined, sculpted and wonderfully precise, La Gaffeliere simply has it all. Hints of lavender, mint, blood orange, spice and black cherry fruit all race across the glass. Clean mineral notes and fine tannins support the finish. The delineation here is simply breathtaking. La Gaffeliere is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Elevage is expected to be 19 months in 50% new oak and 50% neutral barrels. The 2022 is another exceptional wine from the Malet Roquefort family. 98-100
