Château La Gaffelière, a producer steeped in history, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Malet Roquefort family. For over three centuries, their story has been intertwined with that of this exceptional wine estate in the heart of Saint-Émilion.
From its origins in the Gallo-Roman era, with a mosaic floor depicting vines, to its namesake hospital for lepers, the land has a rich and diverse past. The Malet family, with their illustrious lineage and connections to kings and noblemen, have continued this legacy through their dedication and passion for winemaking.
Today, under the leadership of Alexandre de Malet Roquefort, the estate is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. With each vintage, the family strives for perfection, using their intimate knowledge of the land and their ancestors' techniques.
As Alexandre says, he was born in Saint-Émilion, but he became a winegrower through his love for the wines of his ancestors and his close connection to the vineyards. This deep-rooted family story is what makes Château La Gaffelière truly unique, and their wines a true reflection of their history and heroism.
