Mes 6 millésimes de Gaffelière par Léo de Malet Roquefort

A unique box of six vintages selected by Léo de Malet Roquefort

The property

Located at the southern entrance of the village of Saint-Émilion, the Château La Gaffelière, a Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, bears witness to very ancient origins. Mosaics discovered during excavations have attested to the presence of vines on the estate since the Gallo-Roman era. Owned by the de Malet Roquefort family for over three centuries and located in the "golden triangle" between the hills of the Pavie and Ausone châteaux, Château La Gaffelière embodies the excellence of the great red wines of Saint-Émilion.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château La Gaffelière covers 38 hectares, 22 of which are Premier Grand Cru Classé. This vineyard is located on 3 different zones. Thus, we find the famous limestone plateau with asterias of Saint-Émilion, the outcrops of Fronsadais clayey molasses or even the deep carbonated sands. The vineyard of Château La Gaffelière is managed using sustainable agriculture, favoring the gentlest intervention methods.

Six vintages gathered in a unique box

On the occasion of his 60th harvest, Léo de Malet Roquefort wanted to gather in the same box 6 vintages that have marked his history and that of Château La Gaffelière.

The superb wooden case "My 6 vintages of Gaffelière by Léo de Malet Roquefort" invites you to (re)discover, through 6 vintages produced and selected by Léo de Malet Roquefort, the signature of the wines of Château La Gaffelière, whose power combined with a tasty aromatic finesse is appreciated by the most discerning connoisseurs.

1989: A round, powerful vintage with a beautiful length. "One of my greatest successes" asserts Léo de Malet Roquefort.

1990: "A power and a unique richness", in the continuity of the trilogy of vintages 1988 and 1989.

2001: A vintage in the shadow of the 2000 vintage, "but even better" according to Léo de Malet Roquefort.

2006: One of Léo de Malet Roquefort's favorite vintages. A vintage with very pronounced notes of red fruits, "to drink now".

2010: After the incredible 2009, nature renews its benefits in 2010. A vintage combining beautiful notes of ripe fruit with a persistent minerality worthy of the great limestone terroirs. "Among the best vintages of the century".

2018: "My 60th harvest at Gaffelière!" A wine typical of the great vintages of the 1950s and 1960s marked by finesse and great freshness. On this occasion, the label of the 1959 vintage, the first vintage made by Léo de Malet Roquefort, was reissued.
