Description

This limited-edition case contains three magnums from Château La Gaffelière, a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion. Each vintage reflects the estate’s limestone terroir and its classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc:

2018 – 58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc
“The 2018 La Gaffelière reveals classically sophisticated scents of ripe black plums, warm blackberries and cigar box with touches of star anise, dried Provence herbs, chocolate mint and truffles. Drink 2025 - 2045.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, 94–96/100

2019 – 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc
“Creamy texture also, with blueberry and raspberry fruit played gently against tobacco and crushed stone minerality. Drink 2028 - 2044.” – Jane Anson, 95/100

2020 – 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc
“The 2020 La Gaffelière is superb. Rich, dense and explosive. Black cherry, gravel, liquorice, grilled herbs and menthol race out of the glass. Drink 2028 - 2060.” – Neal Martin, 96–98/100

Magnums mature more slowly than standard bottles, making them ideal for extended cellaring or special occasions. This vertical offers a rare opportunity to compare three exceptional vintages from one of Saint-Émilion’s most respected properties.

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
