A la première approche, ce qui surprend sur ce millésime du château La Gaffelière 2012, c'est le côté fruits noirs avec une pointe plus fraîche. La contribution des nouveaux cabernets francs (20% de l'assemblage) n'y est certainement pas étrangère. En bouche, on retrouve une belle trame, soyeuse, vraiment sur le velours. L'élevage de ce premier cru classé de Saint-Emilion est encore en cours mais se dessine déjà un vin d'une grande finesse mais puissant, dans la lignée des grands Gaffelière.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Very elegant kirsch liqueur-like notes mixed with licorice, spice and earth jump from the glass of this famous St.-Emilion, long-owned by the Malet Roquefort family. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (14% alcohol), this has slightly more acidity and structure than some St.-Emilions. The limestone-dominated terroir comes through in the wine's striking and very powerful minerality. It is medium-bodied, elegant, tightly knit and probably in need of 2-4 years of bottle age. It should drink well for the following 15 years.
