This is dark fruited with chocolate, crushed walnuts, black licorice and cedar wood. Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Tight and toned with a polished finish and notes of crushed stones and nut shell at the end. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Excellent for a second wine. Try after 2025. -JamesSuckling.com
Bright plum, cranberry and cherry fruit, some easy-to-love freshness. Unfussy and appealing with a limestone kick and chalky finish. Second wine of Château la Gaffelière, made since 1985. Has its own separate wine cellar, with grapes that come from specific plots. - Jane Anson, Decanter
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc.
Crimson hue. Juicy, round and fresh, the fruit apparent. Slightly riper spectrum than the 2019 tasted just before. Tannins present but tender and a bit more length and drive. - JL, JancisRobinson .com
