If you’re a Bordeaux fan and in search of a wine that delivers beyond its price, don’t miss this mega deal! We’re excited to offer this 99 point Saint Emilion for only $105 – 2018 La Gaffeliere. “Saint-Emilion delivers in 2018. If you want to talk about genuine “best wines ever made” or “pinnacles of achievement,” then this is where to come.” – Neal Martin, Vinous Media
Also noted by Neal Martin in his coverage of the 2018 Bordeaux vintage was how well some Saint Emilion chateaux performed “beyond the elite names.” La Gaffeliere is included in his small list of chateaux that deliver “the best value for the money.”
La Gaffeliere is Pavie’s next door neighbor and sells for a fraction of the price. “La Gaffeliere’s roots as a vineyard date back to the 1500s, and its glory days were in the early 1960s, but today it’s a “reborn estate” making world-class wines. But the prices haven’t caught up to the revamp yet, and this could be a $500 - $1,000 wine in the future – think Cheval Blanc. It beats Pavie and Cheval Blanc at a fraction of the price.” – Dave Sokolin
