Tasting Notes
A charming, intense and complex wine, with aromas of cherry and toasted almond, and a touch of spice. The purity of the fruit and the silky tannins make this a fine bottle that's ready to drink now, but will also improve for 3-4 years in the cellar. One of Bordeaux's best value for money.

The Producer
La Gaffelerie
Formerly known as Château Chapelle Maracan, this 17-hectare estate was renamed Chapelle d'Aliénor when it was acquired by Alexandre Roquefort (under the same ownership as Saint-Émilion Château La Gaffelière Cru Classé) and his spouse Aliénor in 2001. By giving it the same attention it gives to its great wine, the duo produces a Bordeaux Supérieur dominated by Merlot and complemented Cabernet Franc.
Château La Gaffelière is ranked among the Premiers grands crus classés B in the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine. The winery is located west of Château Pavie, just south of the town of Saint-Émilion, within the commune of the same name.
The estate seems seeped in antiquity. There have been vines at Château La Gaffelière since the Gallo-Roman period, and during medieval times there was a hospital for lepers in the area – a ‘gaffet’ – from which the name is derived. A Roman villa was discovered on the site in 1969 containing mosiacs detailing magnificent vines, and the château itself is 12th century in origin (though much altered in the 19th century). Today, the estate is run by Count Léo Malet de Roquefort, whose family has owned La Gaffelière for some 400 years.
