The Dame de Gaffelière 2014 is the second wine of the historic Château La Gaffelière, one of Saint-Émilion’s oldest and most esteemed estates. Crafted from younger vines and parcels bordering the château’s Grand Cru Classé vineyards, this cuvée reflects the same meticulous winemaking and limestone-rich terroir that define its illustrious sibling. The 2014 vintage — marked by a cool summer and a beautifully dry, sunny September — produced wines of elegance, freshness, and classical balance.

Deep ruby in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and violet, layered with hints of tobacco and subtle oak spice. The palate is supple and refined, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a long, graceful finish. Approachable now yet capable of further development, Dame de Gaffelière 2014 captures the charm and finesse of Saint-Émilion in a beautifully balanced, accessible style.

Merlot (90%)

Cabernet Franc (10%)

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
