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.
Roblet Monnot, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2008
All of Domaine Roblet-Monnot holdings are in Volnay and cover an area spanning 6 hectares. The vineyard turned to bio-dynamic wine making in 1997 and has 12,000 vines per hectare with very low yield of 30-35 hectoliters per hectare These combined factors have transformed the estate into one of the leading sources of wine from these communes.
