Chateau La Gaffeliere Clos La Gaffeliere Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 1.5L Magnum 2018

Name: Chateau La Gaffeliere Clos La Gaffeliere Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 1.5L Magnum 2018
Brand: La Passion des Terroirs
SKU: PDT11818M
Price: 89.95 GBP
Availability: InStock

A generous magnum from the same Saint-Émilion estate that has been a Premier Grand Cru Classé B since the very first classification in 1955, and owned by the Malet Roquefort family for centuries. Magnums age more slowly and gracefully, and they make an impressive centrepiece for a dinner or a gift. Merlot leads with juicy, dark fruit and a velvety texture, and Cabernet Franc adds freshness and a fine mineral streak. It is a Clos in the classic Saint-Émilion style, plush and elegant, for roast chicken, duck, beef or a mushroom dish. Decant it and share it around the table.

Taste

Deep ruby with a garnet glow. The nose shows juicy dark forest berries and cherry, with bark, dark chocolate and a touch of mineral. The palate is fresh, elegant and harmonious, with ripe, silky tannins and a persistent, savoury finish. It is a wine for pleasure that drinks well now, and the magnum format should help it keep for the next decade or more.

Blend

Merlot 85%, Cabernet Franc 15%

About the Producer

Château La Gaffelière sits just south of the town of Saint-Émilion, between the hills of Pavie and Ausone, on the limestone plateau, the clay limestone slope and the base of the hill. Its vines are said to date back to Gallo-Roman times, and it takes its name from the gaffets, the lepers who once lived on the land. The Malet Roquefort family has owned it for centuries, and it has been a Premier Grand Cru Classé B since the first classification in 1955. Stéphane Derenoncourt advises the winemaking. This Clos is made by the same team, to the same standards of hand picking and careful selection.

As indicated in our Quality Promise we will happily refund or exchange any faulty bottles. All we ask is the bottles in question are returned to us at least half full for verification purposes. If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.

Should we be unable to fulfil any part, or all of an order, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will suggest comparable substitutions. You are free to refuse these suggestions and are eligible for a full refund of relevant parts of the order.

In all instances, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) must be informed of any claim within 24 hours of receipt of delivery by email or telephone. All refunds will be issued after we have received and approved the faulty items and the amount will be re-credited to your account within 30 days.

If you choose to cancel your contract of sale with Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) you may do so within 30 days of receipt of the goods. If the goods have already been dispatched they must be returned to us unopened and undamaged, and Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will not be liable for any costs associated with the original or return delivery.

No refund can be given when a case has left bond as the value will be affected. Individual bottles of Fine Wine will be considered for refund on a case-by-case basis.

We advise contacting our Customers Services team before making any claim to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
