ABV: 14%
Bottle Size: 750ml
Region: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Viticulture: Certified organic from the 2024 vintage. Hand-harvested Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the limestone plateau above Saint-Émilion. The vineyard is planted to 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc on porous asteriated limestone crossed by water-retaining clay fissures. Horse-drawn cultivation is used to limit soil compaction.
Winemaking: Parcels are vinified separately in temperature-controlled, conical stainless-steel vats filled by gravity. Extraction centres on gentle manual pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vats and barrels. Aged for 16–18 months in French oak, generally with around 45–50% new barrels and a small proportion of larger oak casks.
Château La Gaffelière, a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion, has been owned by the Malet-Roquefort family since the 1400s. Spanning 32 hectares, with 22 hectares dedicated to 1st Grand Cru Classé, the vineyard grows 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Renowned for its rich history dating back to Gallo-Roman times, the estate produces wines known for their depth, complexity, and aging potential.
