Description
A Saint-Émilion Second Wine combining delicateness and complexity
The estate
Located at the southern entrance to the village of Saint-Émilion, Château La Gaffelière, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, bears witness to its ancient origins. Mosaics discovered during excavations attest to the presence of vines on the estate as far back as Gallo-Roman times. Château La Gaffelière has been owned by the Malet Roquefort family for over three centuries and is located in the "golden triangle" between the hills of Châteaux Pavie and Ausone. It epitomises the excellence of the great red wines of Saint-Émilion.
The vineyard
Clos la Gaffelière 2022, Château La Gaffelière’ Second Wine, comes from a 25-hectare vineyard planted on clayey slopes and hillsides that produce great Saint-Émilion wines.
Winemaking and ageing
After harvesting, the grapes were sorted by density. Vinification by plot in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation with pumping over. Malolactic fermentation in vats. Vatting for 27 to 30 days. Aged in equal proportions in barrels (50% new) and vats for 12 months.
Blend
Clos La Gaffelière 2022 is a blend of Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%).
