La Gaffelière is one of the oldest and most emblematic estates of Saint Émilion, defined by the elegance of cabernet franc, the depth of merlot and a particularly refined expression of the region’s limestone plateau. Located on the southern slope beneath the village, the vineyard lies on a mix of asteriated limestone, fine clay and ancient sand, a combination that gives the wines mineral tension, airy freshness and striking aromatic precision. La Gaffelière’s style is marked by pure aromas of violet, fresh black cherry, raspberry, peony, white truffle, fine herbs and a touch of cedar. The palate is straight, silky and supported by subtle tannins and a natural brightness that brings finesse without fragility. With age, the wine gains noble floral and spicy complexity, while maintaining the luminous elegance that makes it one of the most graceful and consistent Saint Émilion estates.
