Château La Gaffelière
Between the slopes of Pavie and Ausone, in Saint‑Émilion, Château La Gaffelière sits in the famed “triangle d’or” and holds the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé B. The de Malet Roquefort family has guided the estate since 1705, while the site itself carries traces of vines reaching back to Gallo‑Roman times.
Top parcels on clay‑limestone meet bands of molasse and sandier foothills, creating a terroir mosaic that demands parcel‑by‑parcel picking and a rigorous approach to selection. In the cellar, extraction is kept measured, assemblage is built around Merlot with Cabernet Franc for definition, and élevage in French oak is used to frame, not flavour.
The style is Saint‑Émilion with an aristocratic posture: refined tannin, lifted tension and a long, composed finish that speaks more of place than of volume.Château La Gaffelière
