Crafted by the Malet Roquefort family of Château La Gaffelière, Château Chapelle d’Aliénor 2020 is a superb Bordeaux Supérieur that overdelivers on every level. Made primarily from Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it showcases ripe red and black fruit aromas — cherry, plum, and blackberry — with hints of spice and subtle oak influence.
The palate is silky and vibrant, offering layers of juicy fruit, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity that give balance and poise. Aged partly in French oak for added texture, it captures both richness and elegance, with a finish that lingers on notes of cassis and soft vanilla. Approachable now yet capable of ageing gracefully for up to a decade, this is a refined, modern Bordeaux offering outstanding value from one of Saint-Émilion’s great winemaking families.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
