Avaliação dos especialistas

Decanter:

Fragrant blackcurrants and plum notes on the nose Clean, juicy and so lifted, this has great purity and focus from the start but also a sense of brightness and tang which gives him a happy, joyous aspect before salty tannins and saline notes come through. Finessed and sophisticated with uber charm. A totally delicious and easy drinking wine. Great energy, sapidity and freshness. Delicate but just so drinkable.

Jeb Dunnuck:

Based on 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, and aging in 50% new oak, the 2024 Château La Gaffelière sports a deep purple hue and reveals darker cherries, blue fruits, graphite, and floral nuances. Medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, it has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish.

James Suckling:

Rose petals, some black cherries and red berries. A hint of coffee beans. Fleshier on the palate than many of its counterparts, showing medium body and bright acidity. Good length to close.

Vinous:

The 2024 La Gaffelière was picked from September 24 to October 8 at 42 hl/ha, aged in 60% new oak including 10% in 500-liter casks. This has a very seductive bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry and light Indian ink scents unfolding in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with succulent tannins, impressive mid-weight density and a crisp, mineral finish. La Gaffelière has been on a run of form recently and the 2024 overcomes the challenges of the vintage with style. Neal Martin.

The Wine Advocate:

Unwinding in the glass with a gently oaky bouquet of dark berries, spices, mulberries and licorice, the 2024 La Gaffelière is medium to full-bodied, lively and tense. Its incisive mid-palate is framed by brittle tannins that assert themselves in a short, chalky finish. Time will likely tame its slight rusticity.

Falstaff:

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicate hint of liquorice, floral nuances, red berry confit, raspberries, attractive bouquet. Juicy, finely-meshed, very fresh, red cherries and currants on the finish, mineral, good length, individualistic style with whistle.
