Silky dark fruit and heady florals define the 2023 Château La Gaffelière, with ripe black cherry, mulberry and violet layered over subtle cedar spice and fine, persistent tannins. The strong Cabernet Franc presence gives a cool, detailed backbone and lift, while Merlot brings depth and succulence, making this an intense yet graceful Saint-Émilion that clearly ranks among the vintage’s standouts.

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.
