Product Details
Château La Gaffelière is situated next to the village of SaintÉmilion and produces two wines: Château La Gaffelière St. Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé and Clos la Gaffelière St. Emilion Grand Cru. With vines planted on south-facing limestone and clay-rich hillsides, Château La Gaffelière wines are complex and built for long aging. A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, they are powerful, supple, and elegant wines. The Merlot is planted at the foot of the slopes in sand and gravel to give freshness and elegance, while the Cabernet Franc offers floral notes. Clos la Gaffelière is selected from the estate’s youngest vines, which are planted in more siliceous soil at foot of the slope and offers marked bursts of fruit and immediacy on the palate.
