The 2010 La Gaffelière is a quintessential expression of Saint-Émilion from a legendary vintage, delivering intensity, purity, and balance. The bouquet opens with ripe black cherries, cassis, and violets, layered with notes of graphite, cedar, and spice. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet refined, with supple tannins, precise acidity, and a long mineral finish that speaks to its limestone soils. This vintage showcases remarkable depth and structure while maintaining the hallmark elegance of La Gaffelière. A wine with impressive aging potential, it will continue to develop nuance and harmony over the next two to three decades.

Château La Gaffelière, located just south of the medieval town of Saint-Émilion, is one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most historic estates, with origins tracing back to the Gallo-Roman era. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B, the château is known for its exceptional limestone terroir, which imparts elegance, minerality, and longevity to its wines. Under the stewardship of the Malet Roquefort family, who have owned the estate for over four centuries, La Gaffelière has steadily modernized its winemaking practices while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. The estate is renowned for producing wines that seamlessly blend power and finesse, reflecting both its heritage and the uniqueness of its terroir.
