G de Gaffelière - Cabernet Franc 2022 Harvest

2022 Harvest
An elegant and ethereal wine, where captivating floral aromas of violet and iris mingle with notes of ripe red plum, blackcurrant, and subtle hints of cedar and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it seduces with its silky tannins and remarkable freshness. The palate reveals pure red and black fruits, accompanied by delicate, refined nuances and mineral notes. This wine perfectly illustrates the refinement and complexity of Cabernet Franc grown on the clay-limestone slopes of Saint-Émilion. Graceful, vibrant, and perfectly balanced, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
