Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France
Château La Gaffelière
La Gaffelière is one of the oldest estates in Saint-Émilion, run by the Malet Roquefort family for centuries. It sits right at the foot of the famous limestone hill and consistently makes one of the more elegant, earthy reds in the appellation without charging the very top prices.
