2019 Chateau Magnan La Gaffeliere Saint-Emilion GCC

Château Magnan la Gaffelière can trace its origins back to the 1770s. The owner at the time was a cooper at Château La Gaffelière, where he drew inspiration both for the name of his own vineyard and for the spirit of his wines.

Château Magnan la Gaffelière enjoys an attentive approach in the vineyard and in the cellar. The terroir of Magnan la Gaffelière combines veins of clay with sandier foothill parcels, producing a wine that is naturally delicate and generous. Mr Hubert de Bouard de Laforest consulted for the Château until its aquisition by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix in September 2017. Today, Magnan la Gaffelière is managed directly by Jean-Pïerre Moueix’s technical teams. The wine spends 12 months in French oak barrels (30% new).

Tasting Notes:  The garnet robe is intense and deep. On the nose, red fruit mingle with toasty aromas, toasted barrel aging. In the mouth the attack, fine and elegant, rises and leaves on the puck tinged chocolate flavor of licorice with a long finish.
