About this wine
La Gaffelière is a Saint-Émilion based on Merlot with a substantial share of Cabernet Franc. It is elegant and fragrant rather than heavy, with red and black fruit, a fresh, mineral quality from the limestone and fine tannin. It drinks well from around eight years and good vintages keep for twenty or more.
About La Gaffeliere
Château La Gaffelière lies at the foot of the Saint-Émilion slope, just south of the town, close to Château Ausone and Canon-la-Gaffelière. It has belonged to the Malet Roquefort family for around three hundred years, making it one of the longest family ownerships in Bordeaux.
The vineyard spreads over the limestone slopes and the foot of the côte, and the estate has been classified among the Premiers Grands Crus Classés of Saint-Émilion. Investment in the vineyard and a new cellar in recent years has refined the style, and La Gaffelière is known for elegance and freshness.
