critic reviews

89/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2009 La Gaffelière has a rather over-the-top bouquet with smudged definition. It feels as if it underwent a warmer or longer maceration than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly viscous texture on the entry, lower acidity than many Right Banks, glossy and honeyed in texture towards the finish. Not really my style of wine, it feels cloying after a while. I much prefer the 2010 La Gaffelière that I tasted the week previously. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
