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.
Sierra Cantabria, Viñedos De Páganos La Nieta 2021
The Sierra Cantabria Viñedos de Páganos La Nieta 2021 is one of Rioja Alavesa’s great single-vineyard wines, from a tiny 1.75-hectare plot in Páganos. Aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry mingle with violets, graphite, spice, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate it’s plush and concentrated, with polished tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. The Eguren family, one of Spain’s most respected winemaking dynasties, farms organically and biodynamically. La Nieta is their crown jewel – a modern Rioja that balances intensity with elegance.
