Deep, vibrant fruit and floral lift give 2016 Château La Gaffelière a striking sense of clarity, with dark plum and currant framed by graphite, spice and fresh herbs. The palate is polished yet structured, showing fine, persistent tannins and a long, savory finish that reveals the Cabernet Franc’s aromatic tension over time.

Château La Gaffelière is the historic grand vin of this long‑standing Saint-Émilion estate, a Merlot‑led blend with significant Cabernet Franc, grown on south‑facing clay‑limestone and silica-rich slopes between Ausone and Pavie. Typically offering refined blackberry and blueberry fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and a fresh, elegant finish, it reflects both its Premier Grand Cru Classé terroir and the Malet‑Roquefort family’s balance of tradition and modern precision in the cellar.
