B‑21 normally has excellent service. The shipments apparently got a little behind for the holidays in the year 2024. There were some confusion in three of my orders, but eventually this was cleared up after the new year.

Great place to order wine. I order when it is free shipping and I send it to a local business so I don’t have to wait around to sign for the wine. They have very good prices and a great selection. Very happy to do business with them.

Excellent company. Great prices. Prompt shipments. Everything arrives perfectly packaged to avoid damage. On the 21st of each month, they have a "Free Shipping" offer, subject to minimum purchase levels. No... I don't work for them! Just a happy customer.

2018 Chateau La Gaffeliere (1.5L)

Merlot from Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

2018 Chateau La Gaffeliere
B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Declared “an estate to watch” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, the rich and vibrant 96+ pt. 2019 Chateau La Gaffeliere and 98 pt. 2020 Chateau La Gaffeliere boast fresh aromatic fruit with refined minerality and ripe, silky tannins promising to mature gracefully over the next few decades, sourced from two outstanding vintages that “deliver the goods” according to Neal Martin of Vinous and affordably priced for stocking the cellar.

Owned by the Malet-Roquefort family for three centuries, Chateau La Gaffeliere has undergone a complete renovation including extensive replanting of its vineyards since 2004 under the direction of legendary consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, its steady rise in quality over the last decade described as a “sleeping giant” awakening by the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley. Boasting an exceptional terroir known as the golden triangle between the hills of Chateaux Pavie and Ausone, the Grand Vin of La Gaffeliere is sourced from the estate’s classified 22 hectares of the 38 hectare vineyard planted to 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the vineyard team employing rigorous selection with at least a third of the hand harvested grapes not making the cut for the Grand Vin. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc aged in 60% new French oak for 18 months, the elegant 96+ pt. 2019 Chateau La Gaffeliere is “a stunning, riveting wine in every way” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous with a rich core of vibrant fruit and layers of silky tannins described as “worth cellaring for sure” by the Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth, earning a spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2022. Named one of the Wine Independent’s Top 50 Value Wines of 2023 and earning a spot on James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2023, the 98 pt. 2020 Chateau La Gaffeliere is called “sleek, silky and excellent quality” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson and declared “a thrilling Saint-Emilion readers should snatch up” by Jeb Dunnuck, promising “great things as it develops” over the next decades according to the Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss.

Described as “striking an expert balance between power and finesse” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, the impressive 96+ pt. 2019 Chateau La Gaffeliere and 98 pt. 2020 Chateau La Gaffeliere are expertly crafted to express their exceptional terroir, this offer a welcome opportunity for Bordeaux lovers seeking outstanding value to acquire two age worthy Right Bank blends that seriously overdeliver.

The 2018 La Gaffelière is hands down one of the wines of the vintage. Towering in its stature and vertical lift, the 2018 dazzles right out of the gate. Inky dark fruit, mocha, spice, licorice and leather all run through this deep, wonderfully pliant Saint-Émilion. The 2018 is rich, deep and beautifully resonant, with tremendous depth and tons of stature that builds, all framed by beams of supporting minerality that confer vibrancy. La Gaffelière is distinctive, alluring and arresting right out of the gate. It is another magnificent showing from this reborn estate. The blend is 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Franc. Magnifique!

99 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Mar 2021)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 La Gaffeliere is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to offer peeks at notions of stewed red and black plums, mulberries and Morello cherries, plus hints of damp earth, tar and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, delivering crunchy red and black fruits with an approachable texture of fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long with a lifted perfume. This is a refreshing, beautifully perfumed and skillfully crafted expression of the vintage. Give it 4-5 years in bottle and then enjoy it over the next 20 years+.

97 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (Mar 2021)

This estate is on a roll. Replete with powerful tannins and dense black fruits, this latest release continues the succession of fine vintages. Perfumed, ripe with berry flavors and, more importantly, with rich tannins, the wine will age impressively. Drink from 2027.
