The estate and the wine |
|
|
Always precise and beautifully balanced, Château La Gaffelière is now stepping confidently into the spotlight, holding its own among the biggest names in the appellation. This distinguished Saint-Émilion delivers a wine that is both refined and generous, marked by harmony, depth, and timeless elegance—earning consistent praise from critics year after year.
Ideally located on the slope that extends from Ausone, the 22-hectare vineyard has quietly undergone a thoughtful transformation in recent vintages, with a renewed focus on Cabernet Franc. Interest in the estate continues to grow, as does recognition of its consistent quality.
Behind this success lies significant investment in the winery and vineyard, supported by the expert guidance of Derenoncourt Consultants. The results are clear—especially in the challenging 2024 vintage, which demanded swift, skillful decisions. The wine, made with 40% Cabernet Franc, is rich, savory, and fresh, built on a silky, seamless structure that stands out amid the vintage’s difficulties.
A true Saint-Émilion classic with long aging potential—this year, it’s a standout buying opportunity. |
