Concentrated and so full, there’s density on the palate, there’s so much ripe red fruit that fills the mouth with a soft grip to the tannins that support the fruit but doesn't overwhelm. This feels instantly classy, layered and complex with a gentle confidence. It’s round and slightly fleshy, although feels sculpted and muscular with volume, a lovely juiciness and a touch of dark chocolate, cedar and liquorice on the finish.

The Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines grow on a diverse mix of soils, including the limestone plateau, clay-limestone slopes, and deeper areas with high silica content. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. The wine is then aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/saint-emilion-grand-cru\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Saint-Emilion Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58882461434200,"sku":"740009","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/clos-la-gaffeliere-saint-emilion-grand-cru-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1794405616","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/2023-chateau-la-gaffeliere-clos-la-gaffeliere-2023","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
