It continues a strong run of form for this rejuvenated Saint-Émilion, with quite ebullient raspberry and wild strawberry scents, a dash of black pepper and brown spices, the Cabernet Franc shaping the aromatics and giving it a Pomerol-like personality. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, impressive weight, quite peppery and tensile; this maintains density and grip through to the long finish. This is a great wine that has great personality and charm. 2032 - 2055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/97\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, vinous.com, May 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duclot \/ Liv-ex \/ Farr Vintners","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":57218735374709,"sku":null,"price":234.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/ChateauLaGaffeliere2021-finewinedirect_68e65614-2145-47b4-8f62-dbcfbd7505c8.png?v=1779438920","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/chateau-la-gaffeliere-20252025-st-emilion","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
