Decanter | "You can feel the excitement building around this estate following extensive replanting and refocussing. The frost of 2017 changed the blend a little, and they decided to stick with it as they liked the results so much - meaning they are using less of the vineyard for the grand vin." March 2019 - 96 |
James Suckling | "This young and dynamic wine offers aromas of blackberries and blueberries. Nice amplitude in the mouth. Firm tannins and fresh finish. Shows the structure and intensity. Accurate and classy. I love his finale." July 2017 - 95-96 |
Antoni Galloni The Wine Advocate 95 Points | "La Gaffelière 2016 is not a "big" Saint-Emilion, but rather a wine of finesse and total class. I loved it. The blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the latter is highlighted by the lively and fragrant notes it brings to the wine." April 2017 - 92-95 |
