Les Hauts de la Gaffelière is the second wine of the prestigious Château La Gaffelière in Saint-Émilion, a wine that reflects the style and quality of the estate, but in a more accessible form. This blend, consisting mainly of Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, offers an expressive nose of ripe red fruit such as cherries and plums, together with subtle notes of spices and a hint of vanilla from the maturation in oak. The wine has a soft structure with round tannins and a lively acidity, which ensures a nice balance and a smooth, long finish.
Wine serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C.
Les Hauts de la Gaffelière is a versatile wine that goes perfectly with roasted meats such as leg of lamb, duck breast or a juicy ribeye. It also goes well with stews such as boeuf bourguignon and goes well with hard cheeses such as Comté or an aged Parmesan. The soft tannins and fruity character of the wine enhance the flavours of meat dishes without being overpowering.
