The 2014 La Gaffeliere appears to have improved since it's showing in barrel (I did hint at this at the time). The nose is perfumed and slightly floral, certainly well defined with neatly integrated oak, dark fruit emerging with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly edgy, chalky tannin on the entry, shrouded by plenty of dusky black fruit and a potent, graphite-tinged finish. This is one to watch.
Very elegant kirsch liqueur-like notes mixed with liquorice, spice and earth jump from the glass of this famous St.-Emilion, long-owned by the Malet Roquefort family. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this has slightly more acidity and structure than some St.-Emilions. The limestone-dominated terroir comes through in the wine’s striking and very powerful minerality. It is medium-bodied, elegant, tightly knit and probably in need of 2-4 years of bottle age. It should drink well for the following 15 years.
Deep garnet coloured, the 2010 La Gaffelière is quite closed to begin, slowly unfurling to give scents of baked raspberries, kirsch, dried mulberries and plum pudding plus nuances of pencil shavings and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate layers in the savoury and earthy flavours with a firm frame of chewy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.
A spectacular effort, the 2009 is one of the all-time great La Gaffelière produced. One would have to go back to the 2005, 1947 or 1961 to find this level of quality from this ancient, historic vineyard planted adjacent to the walls of St.-Emilion, on the Cote Pavie. Dating back to the 1400s, this estate has been owned for over three centuries by the Malet-Roquefort family. Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (in the past it was two-thirds Merlot and the rest split between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), the 2009 reveals compelling elegance, tremendous intensity and opulence and more viscosity than one normally sees. Lots of kirsch, liquorice, incense, truffle, asphalt, blackberry, and cassis notes dominate the aromatics and flavours of this full-bodied, viscous, fabulously pure, flamboyant St.-Emilion. Drinking it now may be considered infanticide by some consumers, but it is already attractive, and should last for 3-4 decades.
This wine is looked after by Stephane Derenoncourt, who has turned out a beautifully elegant, dark plum/purple-colored 2008 with notes of black cherries, blackberries, damp earth, truffle, and a hint of spicy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin and a long, rich finish, this impressively endowed wine should hit its peak in 4-5 years and last for two decades or more.
The finest La Gaffeliere I have ever tasted, the prodigious 2005 boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a flamboyant bouquet of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, blackberries, smoked meats, incense, and Asian spice. Fabulously deep and full-bodied as well as ethereal and exceptionally elegant for its explosive richness and intensity, its lightness of being reflects the vineyard’s sensational terroir. This succulent beauty appears to be approachable, but that belies some significant tannins
A beautiful wine from proprietor Count Leo Malet De Roquefort, the 2003 La Gaffeliere was produced from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare and the harvest occurred between September 19-27. The final blend was 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Beautifully fulfilling my predictions made eleven years ago, it is a broad, full-bodied, savoury red displaying notes of fruitcake, unsmoked cigar tobacco, truffles, incense, black cherries and black currants. Fleshy and close to full maturity, but in no danger of falling apart, this beauty should drink well for another decade or longer.
This elegant, fully mature 2000 St.-Emilion reveals notes of roasted herbs, sandy, loamy soil, black currants, cassis, and a hint of incense. Medium-bodied and pure with outstanding harmony and freshness, it should last for another decade or more.

Bordeaux i det sydvestlige Frankrig behøver ikke megen introduktion som en af verdens mest berømte, prestigefyldte og produktive vinregioner. Størstedelen af Bordeaux-vinene (næsten 90 procent af produktionsmængden) er de tørre, mellemfyldige og fyldige røde Bordeaux-blandinger, som har skabt områdets ry.

De fineste (og dyreste) af disse er vinene fra de store slotte i Haut-Médoc og appellationsområderne Saint-Émilion og Pomerol på højre bred. Førstnævnte er fokuseret (på topniveau) på Cabernet Sauvignon, sidstnævnte par på Merlot.

De legendariske rødvine suppleres af hvidvine af høj kvalitet baseret på Sémillon og Sauvignon Blanc. Disse spænder fra tørre hvide, der kan udfordre de bedste fra Bourgogne-regionen (Pessac-Léognan er særligt berømt), til de søde, botrytiserede nektarer fra Sauternes.

Saint-Émilion er en vin-appellation i Bordeaux-regionen i Frankrig. Den er kendt for at producere nogle af de fineste rødvine i verden og har en historie, der går tilbage til romertiden.

Produktionsstilen i Saint-Émilion er stærkt påvirket af regionens unikke terroir, som er præget af kalksten og lerjord. De druer, der dyrkes her, er primært Merlot, Cabernet Franc og Cabernet Sauvignon, og der dyrkes også lidt Malbec og Petit Verdot i mindre mængder.

Vinene fra Saint-Émilion er typisk fyldige og komplekse med en rig frugtsmag og en lang, blød finish. De beskrives ofte som havende en fløjlsagtig tekstur med noter af brombær, blomme og kirsebær samt antydninger af krydderier og egetræ.

Et af de mest bemærkelsesværdige træk ved Saint-Émilion-vine er deres lagringspotentiale. Mange af topvinene fra denne appellation kan lagres i årtier og udvikle endnu mere kompleksitet og dybde med tiden.

Historien om vinfremstilling i Saint-Émilion går tilbage til det 8. århundrede, hvor en munk ved navn Emilion bosatte sig i området og begyndte at producere vin. I løbet af århundrederne voksede regionens ry for kvalitetsvin, og i 1955 blev Saint-Émilion officielt anerkendt som en appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC).

I dag er der over 1.000 vinproducenter i Saint-Émilion, lige fra små familieejede godser til store kommercielle virksomheder. Mange af disse producenter er engagerede i bæredygtige og økologiske landbrugsmetoder, som sikrer, at regionens unikke terroir bevares for fremtidige generationer.

Alt i alt er Saint-Émilion en virkelig enestående vin-appellation, der producerer nogle af de fineste rødvine i verden. Uanset om du er en erfaren vinkender eller en afslappet entusiast, vil en flaske Saint-Émilion helt sikkert imponere.
