Château La Gaffelière St-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé

Château La Gaffelière is a wine estate in Saint-Emilion, which extends over 38 hectares including 22 hectares in 1er Grand Cru Classé, at the southern entrance to the village of Saint-Emilion, nestled between the hills of Pavia and Ausone. The vineyard is planted with 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, with an average age of 35 years, and is managed in sustainable agriculture with manual harvesting.

Recently discovered remains indicate that the winery dates back to Roman times, presumably from the 3rd century. It was in the Middle Ages that the place, near which a leper colony was held, took the name of Gaffelière, taken from "gaffets" as lepers were called at that time because of the stick or gaffe that allowed them to move.

The Malet Roquefort family has owned it since that time. 1990 saw the construction of the new ageing cellar, an underground concrete cellar of the first type in Saint-Émilion. Since 2004, Alexandre and Léo de Malet Roquefort have taken over the reins of Château La Gaffelière and have continued the restructuring of the vineyard and plantings, as well as investments. They called on Stéphane Derenoncourt to accompany them in the elaboration of the wines. In 2013, a new, more functional stainless steel vat room was created, equipped with 20 custom-made inverted truncated cone-shaped vats, allowing for very precise parcel vinification.
