Château La Gaffelière Naudes

Vines have been grown at Château La Gaffelière (previously known as Château Gaffelière-Naudes) since the Gallo-Roman period. Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but the poet Ausone is known to have had a vineyard in this area at about the same time the villa was built, in the 4th century AD. The unbroken presence of the Malet Roqueforts at La Gaffelière for some four centuries makes them the oldest winegrowing family in Saint-Émilion. The current member of the family who is in charge of the château is Count Léo de Malet Roquefort. He focuses his passion and considerable experience on his vineyard in order to perpetuate the traditions that have earned La Gaffelière a fine reputation in France and around the world.
