A family estate rooted in the limestone hillsides of Saint-Émilion since 1705, where heritage intertwines with a perpetual pursuit of elegance.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils fully south-facing, at the heart of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, shaping wines of distinctive minerality and rare tension.
- Vinification: Traditional blend aged in barrels, combining structure and finesse for cuvées that are both precise and harmonious.
Tasting notes for the wine Château La Gaffelière La Gaffelière 1964
To the eye – A deep ruby robe with tawny highlights, silky in density, its brilliance betraying its age with nobility.
On the nose – First notes of candied blackcurrant and wild blackberry, followed by a touch of aged leather, blonde tobacco and a subtle hint of graphite, like a mineral echo of the chalky soils.
On the palate – A velvety yet taut texture, where lively acidity supports a still-present tannic frame, while a saline and persistent finish reveals the full complexity of a great fine wine for aging.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its aromas.
