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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDeep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMerlot 85%, Cabernet Franc 15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChâteau 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Passion des Terroirs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62417605329283,"sku":"PDT11818M","price":89.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/ClosLaGaffeliere.png?v=1716308038","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/chateau-la-gaffeliere-clos-la-gaffeliere-saint-emilion-grand-cru-classe-1-5l-magnum-2018","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
