Château La Gaffelière 1er Grand Cru Classé is a prestigious wine from Saint-Émilion, known for its elegance and depth. This blend consists mainly of Merlot, supplemented with a percentage of Cabernet Franc, which ensures a refined balance between fruitiness and structure. The wine has a deep ruby red color and offers intense aromas of black fruit such as plums and blackberries, complemented by notes of tobacco, truffle and herbs. In the mouth the wine is rich and full, with soft, ripe tannins and a complex aftertaste that lingers for a long time. This wine has a great aging potential and develops beautifully over the years.
Wine serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C.
Château La Gaffelière is a perfect match for grilled or roasted red meat, such as beef or lamb chops. The robust character of the wine also goes well with game dishes, such as venison or pheasant, and with rich dishes such as a game ragout or roast duck. It also makes a great combination with mature cheeses, such as an old Comté or a spicy Gorgonzola. The tannins and acidity of the wine provide a nice balance with the rich flavors of these dishes.
Château La Gaffelière is a historic winery located in the famous Saint-Émilion appellation and has a rich history dating back to Gallo-Roman times. The château is owned by the Malet Roquefort family, who have managed the estate for more than three centuries. La Gaffelière is known for its terroir, which is characterised by limestone and clay soils, ideal for the production of elegant, refined wines. The second wine, Les Hauts de la Gaffelière, offers wine lovers the chance to enjoy the typical class of this prestigious domain at a lower price.
