Château La Gaffelière

Château La Gaffelière, 1st Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, has embodied for several centuries the refined elegance of the clay-limestone terroir of the southern plateau. Between tradition and precision, the Malet Roquefort family, owners for over 300 years, shapes great aging wines predominantly made from Merlot, combining depth, freshness, and refinement. The vines, located in a natural amphitheater, benefit from optimal sunlight and an ideal mosaic of soils to express all the complexity of the vintage. The style of the château is distinguished by its finesse, silky texture, and remarkable balance, vintage after vintage. A discreet yet undeniable icon of Saint-Émilion, both classic and timeless.
