The élevage spanned 19 months in just 50% new French oak. Its deep ruby\/plum hue is followed by a stunning nose of ripe red and black fruits, spring flowers, spicy wood, and crushed stone-like minerality. With flawless balance, a pure, full-bodied, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish, it's the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted and will most likely warrant a perfect rating in a decade. This is pure Saint-Emilion brilliance! Give bottles 4-6 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 20-30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-e5rxtd\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 Vinous Review Date: 01\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1821gv5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-e5rxtd\"\u003eThe 22 La Gaffelière is fantastic, but it has also closed down considerably post-bottling. Supremely elegant and perfumed, the 2022 is an absolutely stunning wine. Blood orange, pomegranate, spice, white pepper, dried herbs and all sorts of floral overtones soar from the glass. The Franc is so impressive here. I don't expect this magical Saint-Émilion to be ready any time soon. Today, it is a wine of dazzling complexity and purity for the cellar.(AG)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-rttzwj\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-1ig9bl3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Wine Advocate Review Date: 03\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-e5rxtd\"\u003eThe 2022 La Gaffelière, one of the finest wines I’ve encountered at this address, is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Crafted primarily from the prime hillside vineyards beneath Ausone, this wine exudes violet, dark berries, licorice, cherries and smoke, with subtly integrated oak influences. It's medium to full-bodied, deep and powerful, with a multidimensional, fleshy core of fruit and youthful yet powdery tannins framed by a tense, energetic mid-palate, typical of the limestone soils. Concluding with a long, saline and complex finish that marries tension and charming to pleasing effect, it was matured for 19 months in 50% new barrels.
