  • What the experts say...

    Une robe rubis foncé, d'abondants arômes de doux chêne neuf, de petits fruits mûrs et des senteurs florales annoncent La Gaffelière 1990. Moyennement massif et racé, ce vin aux belles proportions est bien étayé par des tannins modérés et par une heureuse acidité. Il laisse en bouche une impression de race et de richesse.
