Château La Gaffelière 2017 shows refined power, layering pure cassis, black raspberry and plum fruit over a spine of fresh acidity and finely woven tannins. Notes of tobacco leaf, subtle spice and floral lift add complexity, while the finish is long, vibrant and clearly shaped by its higher-plateau fruit in this frost-affected year.

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.
