From its limestone slopes, Chateau La Gaffeliere 2022 delivers a poised, vibrant Saint-Émilion packed with black cherry, blackberry and blue fruits layered with floral tones, spice and a gentle graphite edge. The palate is concentrated yet finely etched, with dark, juicy fruit framed by silky but persistent tannins and a cool, mineral freshness that stretches out into a long, refined finish. This is a particularly complete and precise La Gaffeliere, showing both immediate charm and serious aging potential.

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.
