Chateau La Gaffeliere is a Bordeaux wine estate in the appellation of Saint Emilion. It is ranked as a Premier Grand Cru Classe B, and is one of the oldest family-owned vineyards in the region.The estate is located just south of Saint Emilion town, to the west of Chateau Pavie. There are around 20 hectares (50 acres) of vineyards, mostly planted to Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, although recent changes to the vineyard mean the exact proportions could change in the future. In the winery, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with malolactic fermentation taking place in barrel. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for up to 20 months.
