Château LA GAFFELIÈRE 1982
Château La Gaffelière is located in Saint-Emilion , on the right bank of the Bordeaux wine region. It has been classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé B. Until 1961, the estate was known as La Gaffelière-Naudes. The château belongs to the Malet-Roquefort family and today the property covers 38 hectares managed using sustainable agriculture.
The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux is considered one of the greatest ever. The growing season was idyllic, with budburst and flowering taking place under ideal conditions. Mild, dry weather continued throughout the summer, with particularly hot days in July, while August brought cooler days, just before a radiant Indian summer in September.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
