Order wine : Château la Gaffelière 1974
Saint-Emilion - Premier Grand Cru Classé B
KNOW MORE
- The 38-hectare Saint-Emilion vineyard of Château La Gaffeliere is planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. This is very different from what we could find until the mid-1990s. At that time, Merlot was only 65% and 10% of the vines were devoted to Cabernet Sauvignon. These vines have since been removed and replaced. The proportion of Cabernet Franc has also been increased.
- The vineyard has a terroir of clay, limestone, chalk and sandy soils. Below, you have more clay and limestone on the hillsides. On the plains, you have more sand in the vineyard.
- You can easily divide the vineyard of La Gaffeliere into 3 main sections. The best terroir is the 7 hectares of vines on the plateau near Chateau Ausone and not far from Chateau Belair-Monange.
