La Gaffelière 2010 is a compelling expression from a property that has been classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé since 2012. The blend comprises predominantly Merlot, complemented by a significant portion of Cabernet Franc. This vintage reveals a tapestry of red and dark fruit notes alongside hints of subtle oak and earthy minerality. The wine exhibits balanced acidity, attributed to the cooler growing conditions of the year, which contribute to its structure. Best enjoyed with bottle age, it can benefit from 4-6 years of cellaring and offers potential for 25-30 years of maturation.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 La Gaffeliere 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 savory and earthy flavors with a firm frame of chewy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with an herbal lift. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Vinous
The 2010 La Gaffelière has a ripe and generous bouquet with ample red berry fruit, raisin and light orange pith notes, although it maybe lacks the complexity of the best wines in this flight. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, rendering this one of the more lithe and pliant Right Bank 2010s. Good length is evident but it just lacks complexity and personality that would warrant a higher score. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Neal Martin1st April 2020
