Château La Gaffelière, (Magnum) 2021
Château La Gaffelière 2021 comes from one of the historic estates on the southern slopes of Saint-Émilion, where the vineyards sit on a mix of limestone plateau and clay-limestone soils just below Ausone. The blend is typically dominated by Merlot with a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc, giving the wine both plush fruit and a firm, aromatic backbone. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was a challenging, cooler year marked by spring frost and a damp growing season, demanding meticulous vineyard work and strict selection. The best wines show restraint and classical balance rather than power, with bright acidity, moderate alcohol and a clear expression of terroir. At La Gaffelière, the result is a poised, finely structured wine that leans toward elegance and freshness.
Côte De Nuits-Villages, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils, (Magnum) 2021
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “ avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels ”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity. Guillaume's Côte de Nuits-Villages 2021 is designed for relatively early consumption but has the potential to develop further complexity with a few years of aging. Proper cellaring will enhance its evolution and longevity.
