The Wine IndependentDescription
The balance and expression of a Saint-Emilion Second Wine
The estate
Located to the south of the village of Saint-Emilion, Chateau La Gaffeliere, Premier Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion, boasts ancient origins. The discovery of mosaics during excavations confirmed the presence of vines on the estate as early as the Gallo-Roman era. Owned by the Malet Roquefort family for more than three centuries and located in the "golden triangle" between the hills of Chateaux Pavie and Ausone, Chateau La Gaffeliere embodies the excellence of fine red Saint-Émilion wines.
The vineyard
The second wine of Chateau La Gaffeliere, Clos la Gaffeliere stems from a 20-hectare vineyard that is planted on clayey slopes and foothills. This vineyard gives rise to fine Saint-Emilion wines.
Vinification and aging
Following the harvest, the grapes are sorted according to their density. Vinification by plot in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation with pumping over. Malolactic fermentation in vats. Vatting time for 25 to 30 days. Aged in equal proportions in barrels (50% new) and vats.
The blend
Clos La Gaffeliere 2021 is a blend of Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%).
