Tasting Notes
"The 2016 Château la Sablière Beauséjour offering aromas of cherries, tobacco, sweet spices and wet stones all come together and burst from the glass. This is medium-bodied and beautifully structured with silky tannins and lovely underlying acidity and minerality that frames the finish. While this is excellent today, it should also offer a drinking window that spans nearly a decade."

The Producer
Château la Sablière Beauséjour
The existence of the historic vineyards of Château La Gaffelière dates back to the Gallo-Roman era. It crosses the times and becomes in particular a hospital for Lepreux or otherwise called Gaffet by the Gascons in the 17th century. It was at this time that the Malet Roquefort family acquired the Château. The Malet Roquefort family, established for more than four centuries, is renowned as the oldest family in the region.
The terroir of Château La Gaffelière stretches over 25 hectares in one unit between the hill of Château Ausone and that of Château Pavie. The vineyard orients favourably to the south, receives ideal sunshine. The slopes are clay-limestone. The vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Harvesting is manual, with careful sorting and then total destemming. The parcel vinification is done in adapted thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. The malolactic fermentation that follows takes place both in vats (50%) and in barrels (50%). The fermentation is done in 50% new wood for a total of 14 to 16 months.
