The Gaffelière 2007, hailing from the prestigious Château la Gaffelière in Bordeaux, France, is a true testament to the art of winemaking. This vintage, produced in 2007, boasts a deep ruby colour with a hint of garnet, giving a glimpse into the complexity of flavours to come. On the nose, one is greeted with an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a touch of tobacco, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with flavours of blackcurrants, plums, and a touch of dark chocolate, leading to a long and lingering finish. The tannins are smooth yet firm, showcasing the wine's well-structured backbone. This Bordeaux beauty is a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes or can be enjoyed on its own for a truly indulgent experience.
Winemakers Notes
Château La Gaffelière, a gem of Saint-Emilion
This property is located almost inside the village, in the southern area facing Ausone. With 300 years of history at the head of the estate, the Malet de Roquefort family knows this magnificent terroir by heart and knows how to reveal the very essence of it. The vineyard covers 38 hectares, including 22 hectares of 1er Grand Cru Classé. The vines are planted on different soils: limestone plateau, clay-limestone slopes, and more siliceous at the foot of the slopes.
During the past decade, the vineyard has been restructured and a new winery has been built, allowing a vinification process 100% based on gravity that preserves the purity of the fruit and its fresh and precise aromas.
The Malet de Roquefort family hired Stéphane Derenoncourt as a consultant to help them to achieve their quest of a pure and elegant wine.
