Château la Gaffelière, Saint Émilion Les Hauts de la Gaffelière 2022

Château la Gaffelière Les Hauts de la Gaffelière 2022 is a polished Saint-Émilion red that combines ripe dark-fruit character with the depth and structure associated with the estate’s wines. Presented as a signature expression from Maison Malet Roquefort, it reflects the producer’s experience and commitment to a consistently high quality standard.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep dark-cherry colour with an attractive ruby-red glow. Its expressive nose offers notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, vanilla and warm spices, lifted by a subtle freshness. On the palate, it opens with a rounded, full-bodied and rich texture. Ripe fruit is balanced by gentle structure, while the finish reveals appealing liquorice notes. It can be enjoyed now for its generous fruit profile, but its structure and oak maturation should allow it to develop further over the coming years when carefully cellared.

Production
Produced in the Saint-Émilion region, Les Hauts de la Gaffelière undergoes traditional red-wine vinification in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is macerated on its skins for four weeks to extract colour, flavour and structure, before maturation in oak barriques and larger wooden casks. Further details about the specific vineyard soils and harvesting methods are not provided.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for duck breast, grilled entrecôte served with sautéed mushrooms and a selection of mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential when serving the wine young, although 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help open its aromas and soften its structure.
