Having settled in Saint- million in 1705, the Malet Roquefort family of Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort has a history in Bordeaux spanning more than three centuries. A record of vines being planted on this land in Gallo-Roman times shows an even longer history of viticulture, and was confirmed in 1969 by Comte L o de Malet Roquefort who discovered ruins of the Gallo-Roman Villa du Palat with mosaics depicting vines plantings. Chateau La Gaffeli re, which gained status in 1954 as a Saint- million Premier Grand Cru Class , is the original estate of the Malet Roquefort family. In 2001, the family united three estates, Chateau La Gaffeli re, Chateau Chapelle d'Ali nor, and Chateau Armens, under a single brand: Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort. Later, in 2008 Chateau La Connivence also joined the Domaines. Today, the Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort estates include: Chateau La Gaffeli re, Chateau Chapelle d'Ali nor, Chateau Armens, and Chateau La Connivence. Founded on the four guiding principles of excellence, elegance, authenticity, and independence, the Malet Roqueforts have passed on their traditions, generation after generation, and today Alexandre de Malet Roquefort is at the helm of Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort. Like his ancestors, he shares a passion for wine and for the Saint- million terroir which they call home.
Tasting Notes
Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 La Gaffeliere reveals a tantalizingly bright, fresh nose of ripe black plums, crushed blackberries, and warm black cherries with touches of lavender, star anise, Sichuan pepper and fragrant earth. The vibrant black fruits completely fill the medium to full-bodied palate with loads of crunchy, energetic flavors, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing with a mineral twist. Irresistibly scrumptious! 95-97 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate 6/18/2020
