98-100 VM. "The 2022 La Gaffelière is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Refined, sculpted, and wonderfully precise, La Gaffelière has it all. Hints of lavender, mint, blood orange, spice and black cherry fruit all race across the glass. Clean mineral notes and fine tannins support the finish. The delineation here is simply breath taking. La Gaffelière is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Elevage is expected to be 19 months in 50% new oak and 50% neutral barrels. The 2022 is another exceptional wine from the Malet Roquefort family."
