Château La Gaffelière

A very fine wine that reflects the very best produced on Rive droite de Bordeaux, here's Château La Gaffelière.

It takes its name from "Gaffets", a term used to describe lepers in the Middle Ages, when Saint-Emilion was home to a leper colony. At that time, most of them carried a stick, the "gaffe", which they used to beg and move around.

Description Château La Gaffelière 2007 Double-Magnum.

Subtle touches of blond tobacco and oak add complexity and depth to the bouquet. The palate is not to be outdone, powerful from the outset, with fine, elegant tannins that are perfectly integrated. The fleshy body supports a gourmet aroma. The tasting ends on a fresh finish with pleasant notes of fruit.
