Clos La Gaffelière – 2e vin du Ch. La Gaffelière – Saint Emilion 2022 Magnum

61,00 €

The finesse of a great terroir, the generosity of a large format.
Coming from plots adjacent to the legendary Château La Gaffelière, this second wine keeps gaining in precision and depth. In 2022, Clos La Gaffelière offers a silky, vibrant profile shaped by the natural freshness of Saint-Émilion’s limestone slopes.

Why magnum? Ideal for slow aging—or simply to enjoy around a large table.

What stands out in this vintage:
An enticing nose of black cherry, cassis and delicate floral notes. The palate is dense yet polished, with fine tannins and a juicy, lingering finish.

Perfect with roast beef, homemade lasagna or a porcini risotto.

Created in 1985, Le Clos is essentially made from young vines. It is composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the percentage of which varies according to the quality of the vintage. It is a “pleasure wine” with a medium ageing potential (around 10 years).
Vineyard work on the Clos plots is identical to that carried out on the plots producing the first wine: pruning, grassing the soil, manual leaf thinning, green harvesting, manual harvesting.
In the cellar, the same gestures punctuate the successive stages in the elaboration of this wine, whose identity is now well established and recognized. Unlike its big brother, which is aged with 50% new wood, the second wine is aged exclusively in one-wine barrels for 10 to 12 months.
Originally, Le Clos was reserved exclusively for private customers. The wine trade has been interested since the 2000 vintage. It is offered to professionals en primeur at the same time as Château La Gaffelière.
In some foreign markets, Clos Gaffelière is sold under the Dame Gaffelière label.
