Another fabulous offering from the Bordeaux 2022 dinner at Gatsby’s in Calgary last night. This second release from the right bank was utterly sublime and I expect (if I knew what it cost!) gives great value. Paired with a rabbit leg agnolotti dish, with notes of blackberry, plum, tobacco, licorice, earthy and lavender.

Château La Gaffelière 2022 is one of the best recent vintages of this exceptional Saint-Émilion producer. Made mostly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it stands out for its aromas of red fruits, violets, and spices. Balanced with silky texture, elegant with aging potential.

A beautifully sculpted St . Emilion that combines precision, purity and finesse. The nose is vibrant and seductive, showing layers of blackcurrant, wild plum and fresh cherry interlaced with violet, cocoa powder and fine graphite. There’s a cool, lifted aromatic supported by notes of cedar and crushed stone. The palate is silky, bright and wonderfully balanced. Medium to full in weight with ultra Fine tannins and a luminous core of dark fruit. The acidity is perfectly tuned giving the wine definition and energy!

ripe black cherry, graphite, and a whisper of cedar. The palate feels both full and poised — plush Merlot depth lifted by Cabernet Franc’s aromatic precision. Finishes long, silky, and just with enough minerals to remind you it’s playing the finesse as much as the power

An elegant and refined Premier Grand Cru Classé, balancing power with finesse. It presents a deep ruby-garnet color. The nose is complex and aromatic, with layers of red and black berries, floral notes, and a distinct graphite minerality. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and silky, featuring finely polished tannins and a vibrant, fresh acidity. This elegant structure provides both approachability and aging potential, leading to a long, perfumed, and beautifully persistent finish. A wine of notable harmony

Dark ruby-red color in the glass! On the nose aroma of garrigue herbs, wild blueberries, ripe plums and a little lead pencil! On the palate dense and concentrated with a velvety texture and a very long finish! Cheers!
