Clos La Gaffelière Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a rich, fragrant red Bordeaux made in the Merlot-dominant Right Bank region of Saint-Émilion.
The grapes, 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, both from old vines, are grown in sandy and clay soil. Producers then harvested and sorted the grapes by hand.
In this particular vintage, the mild temperatures at the end of winter led to a precocious budding. The hot and dry season brought about great water stress to the plant. However, these vines are mostly on hillsides with clay soils, so those received sufficient water supply. The harvest was early: from the beginning of September for the lower sloped vines. The month of September – very hot but marked by two rainy episodes – favoured an optimum ripeness of merlots and a very aromatic expression of cabernets.
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless vats. Following the harvest and fermentation, Clos La Gaffelière is aged in a combination of new oak barrels (25%), old oak barrels (25%) and tanks (50%) for a total of thirteen months.
Enjoy Clos La Gaffelière Saint-Émilion Grand Cru alongside pork, beef, or robust cheeses.
