Notre histoire
We warmely welcome you to the most ancient wine estate of St Emilion, as shown by the mosaics of the gallo roman villa discovered on spot (closed to the public).The Counts of Malet Roquefort take care of Chateau La Gaffeliere and live here for more than 3 centuries ; however the origin of family dates back to william the conqueror and the battle of Hastings.
Historical Grand Cru , our vineyards spread over 54 acres and cover the best terroir of St Emilion : clay and limestone soils on the hillside and south facing. When tasting, the result is a subtle blend of complexity, finesse and elegance with a nice ability of ageing.
During the tour, you will discover (part of ) our secrets… an amazing vat room with purple tanks, a square ageing cellar, a brand new tasting room.
Come and enjoy an authentic experience !

Noella was a wonderful tour guide, knew the answers to all of our questions and her passion for the chateau and the wines really added to our interest too. The chateau is so beautiful, so happy we chose here for our wine tour for St Emilion (and obviously the wines were great too!)
An absolutely wonderful experience. Everyone is so friendly and really seems like you’re visiting friends. Noella was wonderful and patient with all our questions and really brought alive the experience. Merci!
Visite très agréable.
Friendly, helpfull and informative visittguide.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience thank you very much.
Great tour and tasting at CHÂTEAU LA GAFFELIÈRE. Noella was our host and she was pleasant and engaging with her overview of the grounds, the process, and then three wine tasting. And she answered some questions on the Saint Emilion classification which can be confusing.
Thank you for the great explanations and interesting tour!
Thibault was an excellent and knowledgeable guide
What a great experience. Being a lover of your wines, I recommended to our group that we should stop off and say hello. We purchased a bottle of the rare chardonnay (and drank it), which was excellent. The reds obviously go without saying!!. The whole experience from start to finish, really was splendid and we\'d highly recommend taking a visit but remember to book in advance. Thanks again.
Superbe decouverte, les explications étaient très claires sur toutes les etapes de la visite ( l\'origine du domaine, la region, et les etapes du vin). Le cadre est magnifique. La dégustation est montee crescendo allant d\'un rosé à 2 rouges. Et nous avons été très bien conseillée afin de choisir nos vins à la fin de la dégustation.
La visite vaut complètement la peine. Toutes les explicactions sont super éducatives et aident à comprendre parfaitement comment fonctionne leur business.
Fantastic experience recommend. Even my 10 year old loved it. Especially the free Grape Juice.
Bravo Noella bel accueil et belle découverte merci
We enjoyed our visit very much. Thanks to our guide, Neola!
Très bonne présentation de ce domaine familial qui est niché dans un cadre exceptionnel!
Really interesting and engaging tour. Wine too was delicious.
Noella was the perfect host, and gave us all an amazing and informative experience.
Ravi d\'avoir visité ce domaine que j\'achète depuis de nombreuses années.
Our family (kids included) had a lovely time on our tour of the vineyard and cellar. We appreciated you taking the time to answer all of our questions. The tasting was a perfect ending to our visit. Providing the grape juice for the children was appreciated. Many thanks.
It was a great experience to have visited the Chateaux. I enjoyed the tour very much. Thanks again for hosting. All the best, Sarah
Outstanding tour that we would highly recommend. A very memorable and special experience. Thank you.
A wonderful experience at Chateaux Gaffeliere, absolutely stunning.
Great Chateau and fantastic wines
Very good guide, very friendly.
College was a great host who answered all the questions we had. The views were lovely and the tasting even better.
Great tour with great enthusiasm and knowledge, didn\'t realise the family had such a history, plus the tasting was delicious
We really enjoyed the tour and tasting. Our guide was so lovely, friendly, knowledgable and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Thank you
Wonderful experience, wonderful products, wonderful tour guide! Thank you!
An informative tasting but the size of the tasting was very small (15ml x 3) for the price paid.
Very Nice welcome, special big Thanks to Noela ! Visit highly recommanded !
Outstanding experience! Great guide, beautiful estate, very good wines - we loved the visit
Excellent experience!
Merci à Noella pour les explications claires et la visite très complète.
Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable, the premises were lovely, and the wine was great. The tour and tasting was also a much better value than meany other chateaux in the area.
Really enjoyed our tour and wine tasting. Our guide was very helpful and informative.
C\'était un jour parfait
Fantastic service and really enjoyed our visit our host was excellent. Would have been interesting to see the bottling / labelling process and also the cellar of bottles
Très bon moment passé sur le beau domaine suivi d’une dégustation de vins diversifiés. Notre guide était très sympathique et à répondu à toutes nos questions.
Merci à Noella pour une visite formidable. Vignoble à ne pas manquer, la visite vaut le déplacement. On vous le recommande fortement.
The tasting and tour was wonderful! Very informative and enjoyable! Now we feel more personally attached to the wine we’ve enjoyed for years! Thank you!
This was an excellent tour and tasting. We were travelling light from London, so were limited in the amount of wine we could carry, but have a cru classe and a Pomerol now in our wine fridge to store for a few years
Excellent, informative, personable and interesting
Une belle expérience de découvrir le fonctionnement du château et la modernité de ses équipements. très bon accueil.
Très belle visite et très beau millesime 2016 pour la Gaffeliere.
Visite fort sympathique avec pour guide un passionné. Les explications sur le processus de fabrication était très bien expliqué. La dégustation était parfaite rien à redire.
Very informative and interesting tour and definitely worth the price. Also the wine tasting was nice, I appreciated that we got to try three different wines by various quality. Also really good you can buy wine by the bottle. Thanks to Noella who was a great and charming hostess, even though she hates her job ;)
Excellent tour and tasting session with an exceptional host (apologies I have forgotten his name). Great value for money
Thank you for the wonderful tour!
La visite du château et la dégustation était très bien organisée, nous avons bien apprécié le moment
We are so glad that we picked your chateau, very impressive.
The amount of wine we got to taste was minuscule, no more than what you get for free in the various tasting places in St Emillion. For 20euro you expect a bit more, especially as we bought a few bottles of the most expensive wine. Many places waive the tasting charge when you buy more than 2 bottles.
Excellent tour & tasting experience, presented by Tibaud, a hugely knowledgeable and pleasant person. He made the tour very personable & enjoyable.
Une expérience fantastique! Hautement recommandé
I would recommend this one hour tour to give you a quick, but nonetheless interesting visit to a leading estate in St.Emilion. You will learn about wine making in both the appellation and this particular chateau. The tasting at the end offered an opportunity to taste a nice range of styles from La Gaffelière. Very good!
The tour guide was excellent today.
A wonderful experience. I strongly recommend it!
Très bonne présentation je recommande
Excel·lent first contact with the wine region
Mille fois merci pour cette merveilleuse visite… ! Quelle générosité de notre adorable guide et ses explications... et quel Vin et lieu Unique !
A fabulous chateau which blends architectural gems including the caveau and the Roman mosaic with the most beautiful terroir.
Amazing wine tour and experience. I learned so much and the wine was delicious. After we were able to purchase a glass of our favorite wine and sit in the courtyard to enjoy.
Superbe visite ! Notre guide a su partager sa passion avec enthousiasme, nous avons pris plaisir à découvrir le domaine ainsi qu’à déguster différents vins.
Wonderful experience, our tour guide was great. Such an enjoyable tour!
Comprehensive tour and tasting of excellent wines. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful and historically important Chateau. The guide (Noella?) was knowledgable and helpful.
Fantastic experience at Chateau La Gaffeliere, our host was very knowledgeable and the wine was perfect. Thank you Chateau La Gaffeliere, salute!
The wine tasting and private tour was amazing! The history of the chateau is so interesting and all the wines we tasted were unique and delicious. Noëlla was super informative and made our tour such an amazing experience.
A brilliant tour, our guide was superb and the tour was fantastic. We visited 3 chateaus and this was our favourite. The best wine to taste and a great guide. Would recommend to friends and family.
Super visite , hôte très accueillante et compétente , et le vin bien au delà de toutes mes attentes . merci beaucoup
A great tour and tasting at Chateau La Gaffeliere, very informative and the guides English was very good was was able to answer questions. Tasting of 4 wines and the tour lived up to my expectations. Thank you!
Nous avons reçu un excellent service, visite très intéressante, le personnel était aux petits soins. Merci pour votre accueil et le temps consacré. L’une de nos plus belle visite. Au plaisir Lysandre et Shane
Très beau domaine, accueil très chaleureux et visite très sympathique. Malheureusement très déçu par la dégustation des vins… pour des bouteilles à 100€ (dernier vin dégusté) je trouve qu’il n’y a pas assez de complexité et de longueur en bouche. Bien sûr, ça n’empêche pas que le travail soit (très) bien fait mais beaucoup trop cher pour le résultat.
une de vos bouteilles ne manquera jamais dans ma cave MM
Noëlla a été super!
The guide was very very lovely, knowledgeable and very passionate! Her language was amazing and she answered questions with such ease! A credit. The vinyard was beautiful, location and views perfect. Wine was OK not really to our taste
Great visit, wonderful property, nice tasting, knowledgeable wine educator, reasonable prices on the wines, we will certainly visit again. Ross Grant.
Une visite organisée dans le cadre d\'un tour de différents châteaux sur un week-end. Nous avons choisi le château La Gaffeliere en dernier pour finir sur une valeur sûre et nous nous sommes pas trompés. Noela a été très accueillante et à su répondre à toutes nos questions (et y en avait beaucoup). La visite était très intéressante et la degustion aussi. Nous sommes ravi de cette visite. Nous savons déjà que nous reviendrons d\'ici quelques années pour faire découvrir ce château à d\'autres personnes.
Une super visite d’un château familial avec un guide au top!
Très belle découverte.Très bon accueil
We had a wonderful tour. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were superb too.
Noella the hospitality tour guide was knowledgable and charming. Shame that the 3 wines she offered for the tasting were so poor. Surely La gaffeliere should showcase your best wine not the worst?
Great tour with wonderful explanations and information
Wine wasn’t that good as I hoped.
Noëlla a été une hote de grande qualité, très professionnelle et sympathique nous avons beaucoup apprécié la qualité de sa prestation Encore merci à elle et son dynamisme
Merci encore pour votre professionnalisme et votre visite très intéressante et conviviale
The guide was very nice, i’m very happy with the visit and her explanation.
Une très jolie visite. Appréciée par la qualité des explications données, la gentillesse et le sourire de notre guide. Elle nous a fait partager sa passion du vin. Elle nous a fait découvrir un domaine attaché à ses valeurs familiales et respectueux de la vigne. Merci.
We had a very Good experience, the staff was super Nice. We recomend the privas-te tour to everyone.
Super moment ! Tatiana est parfaite, j’ai été bluffé par la connaissance qu’elle à, on peut ressentir la passion qu’elle à pour son métier ! Bravo
Très bon accueil et d\'excellentes explications. La guide a su répondre à toutes nos questions. Très bonnes connaissances. Merci à elle
Visite très agréable et instructive, magnifique endroit . Notre guide a été parfaite en s’adaptant à nos questions ; les vins valent le déplacement ! Comment y résister ?
Amazing experience! Thank you Andrea for the wonderful tour and incredible wines. Merci
Thomas was a great guide! Very professional, knowledgeable and the tasting was a great experience too! Loved sharing ideas on the aromas of the wines! Couldn’t buy any bottles because we are traveling by airplane with no luggage (just backpack). Will consider buying wines from home once we get back.
Très bel accueil, très bonne flexibilité. La visite fut intéressante et agréable. À refaire !
Thomas, was amazing! Very enjoyable. Merci beaucoup.
I would like to extend the visit in the vineyard to see the grapes and the landscape
Andrea was a lovely host and gave us a great tour. We were there to taste rather than buy. The history of the domaine is interesting and the wines were excellent.
Merveilleux domaine
Excellent moment passé au château de La Gaffelière ! L\'accueil était vraiment sympathique et la visite du domaine était passionnante avec des explications très précises qui démontraient une réelle maîtrise du sujet. L\'agréable dégustation des vins produits par le Château a clôturé ce moment avec brio ! Une expérience vivement à recommander !
La visite avec Thomas, juste parfaite !
Thanks to Andrea it was a very good experience. Frank and Anne
Beautiful vineyard and excellent tour
We enjoyed our tour here very much. Thomas was very welcoming and an excellent tour guide. An excellent end to a busy day in the lovely town of St. Emilion! Thank you.
Andréa était vraiment parfaite du début à la fin de la visite et durant la dégustation Merci à elle
Merci beaucoup à Thomas pour tout le temps qu’il a pris pour cette visite et cette dégustation. Il a su nous transmettre sa passion. C’était un super moment de partage.
Wonderful tour and tasting. Our guide was very amicable knowledgeable and entertaining. My friends and I had a wonderful time and will hopefully visit again - definitely will be enjoying this wine at home. Thank you!
Fantastic experience!
Nice tour and tasting at the end.
Thomas a été très professionnel et a parfaitement maîtrisé son sujet.
please send advertising and notices about your wine to my other email: mcampbeL123@yahoo.com
We very much appreciated that they accommodated us with a shortened (but still thorough) tour & tasting after our train was an hour late. Excellent wines & gracious service.
Très belle visite et excellente dégustation
Tour could have been better prepared or rehearsed as a touristic experience.
Very nice tour and presentation. Well worth the entrance fees.
Andrea was great. She did a good job talking to us while handing the walk ins.
Best winery tour experience I have had! Thomas was great fun and very knowledgeable having spent time in all aspects of the technical production. Avoid the herding of the prearranged bus tours from Bordeaux and opt for the small group experience at Chateaux la Gaffeliere, you will not be disappointed!
Andrea was very lovely and good host
Gracious host and knowledgeable guide during the tasting with tasting notes
The visit was very pleasant.
Thanks for this lovely experience, we will reccommend your Chateau to all our wine lover friends :)
Thank you for a lovely tour of your vineyard and winery. What a fabulous property!
We went to visit Château La Gaffelière, with the tasting of four wines and we loved it. Andréa received us very well and throughout the visit she was extremely friendly and enlightening. We enjoyed the visit and wines so much that we bought some bottles to be delivered by the Château itself, in Lisbon. One of the best Château’s in Saint Emilion. We have already visited some of the best Quintas / Château’s in Portugal, Austria and France (Bordeaux area) and Andréa has been by far the best hostess to date.
Andrea was our guide and she was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and humorous. We had a wonderful private tour and we would highly recommend it.
The guided tour was really good quality and interesting. Also, the tasted wines were a good introduction of the winery.
Seance tres interessante .Nous aurions aime acheter du vin , mais nous etions en avion !
Andrea was fantastic. We very much enjoyed our time at the chateau.
We enjoyed our tour very much.
Andrea great! Loved our tour with her
The guided tour we had was absolutely marvelous. Our guide was very knowledgeable and humorous and we\'re truly grateful that we were able to visit during our time in Saint-Emilion! Be sure to put it on your list!
Amazing visit, the château is really beautiful and the tour was well conducted with great explanations about the processes. Very good wines at the tasting. We highly recommend the visit!
Merci de cette très belle visite guidée. Accueil chaleureux et professionnel dans un cadre magnifique. Bravo. Frank Magiera
Thank you Thomas for a great visit to the Chateau. Interesting history, great facilities and wonderful wines. Cheers!
La visite avec Thomas s’est très bien passée et je suis ravie d’avoir trouvé ce créneau en plein mois de décembre. Le fait que nous ne soyons que 2 visiteurs a rendu la visite très agréable et notre guide a été a l’écoute et a su répondre à toutes mes questions Merci !
Merci à Andréa pour cette visite très complète de votre château. Ce fut une très belle expérience pour nous. À réitérer avec grand plaisir.
Andrea was professional, friendly and very patient with our questions, un grand merci! It was a great afternoon spent in the beautiful setting of Le Château la Gaffelière
Très belle visite, très beau domaine
Parfaite visite, explications claires et moment super agréable !
A beautiful chateau, an interesting tour, excellent wines and a team of professional yet friendly hosts. We loved our visit to Ch. La Gaffelière and will certainly return.
We had a great time with our wine visit - Andrea was a VERY interactive, professional, polite and fun person to lead us through the chateau history, vineyards, operations, and tastings. The overall experience was a lot of fun - the wine value is fantastic - and I highly recommend both the wine and the experience. Definitely making room for more in my wine room!
Outstanding winery and property. Two of the wines we tasted were - even if still young - fantastic and for sure will have a great potential. We are curious to drink them after 5 years snd later. The guide we had (Andréa) was very experienced and helpful. We could ask many questions and had them all answered very professionally.
Magnifique découverte du Château la Gaffelière! Allez-y!
Très beau domaine , vin excellent avec un accueil qui met le tout en valeur .
Lovely visit, informative and helpful. Nice wine tasting.
A very impressive reception and tour. The delight was the passion and knowlegde shown by Andrea Labegorre. Commitment makes the difference. By Victor van K. The Netherlands
Andrea was a wonderful tour guide. She is knowledgeable about wine making and and the history of the winery.
Une visite agréable et passionnante qui s’est clôturée par une dégustation d’exception !
Bonne présentation du domaine par l\'arbre généalogique, les cartes, approche des vignes, du chai. Personnel agréable Bonne dégustation des 4 vins, peut-être un peu rapide. Point négatif : pour l\'achat d\'une bouteille 1er vin à 80 euros l\'emballage insuffisant, juste une feuille de papier, je pense qu\'un emballage carton serait plus qualitatif.
We had a wonderful visit, really impressed with the tour and fabulous to be able to taste the top wines. Would like to extend extra thanks as I made a mistake with the timing of our appointment and even though we were 15 minutes late, we were really well accommodated and welcomed. Would definitely recommend a visit!
Very interesting visit. Good explanations. The guide was very professional and friendly,. I recommend the visit to everyone who want to learn about wine or just have a good experience. The wines of the tasting session not only are they really good but also they are an opportunity to compare different styles of wines.
Trop de temps passe dans la salle d’acceuil. L’explication de l’histoire de la famille est beaucoup trop longue. Il faut aussi que la personne faisant la visite prenne en charge la gestion du temps et me reste pas bloquee dans la salle d’acceuil a repondre a une multitude de questions (dont la plupart etees tres evidentes).
Excellent moment passé au château, excellemment guidé par Thomas : merci et bravo !
Un grand bravo pour ce domaine présenté avec passion et professionalisme.
Visite de grande qualité, avec des explications claires, précises, dans un décor superbe. N\'étant pas connaisseur de vins j\'ai malgré tout vraiment apprécié et je recommande chaudement la visite
Merci pour la découverte de ce beau domaine. La dégustation mériterait un verre différent par vin dégusté et deux années différentes pour le Chateau La Gaffeliere Merci à notre guide de visite pour ses conseils et les réponses à nos questions. Bien à vous
Excellente visite d\'un patrimoine exceptionnel. Accueil aimable et sympathique dans un cadre magnifique. Nous recommandons ce grand Château appartenant à une même famille depuis des siècles. Merci infiniment à notre guide.
Très belle visite agrémentée de très bonnes explications. Merci
Très belle visite avec des explications claires et détaillées. Accueil chaleureux.
Viste très agréable dans un domaine aux vins excellents. La guide très professionnelle. Beau domaine situé en plein coeur de Saint-Emilion.
Très bonne visite dans un super domaine ! De très bon vins à la dégustation
Très bon accueil, des explications claires qui évitent les détails superflus, un chai splendide, et un vin magnifique. A visiter sans modération.
Superbe accueil convivial, très beau vignoble à découvrir, modernité technologique à la pointe. Cuvier très esthétique. HVE respectueuse de l\'environnement. Les vins sont exceptionnels, je recommande fortement ! Premier vignoble à Saint emilion, je souhaiterais réellement y retourner ! Merci à vous !
La visite du château fut un excellent moment. La présentation est complète et très intéressante. C’est une chance d’avoir une visite privée et une guide si sympathique, suivie d’une dégustation de trois vins du domaine. Très belle expérience !
It was a great introduction to Chateau La Gaffeliere\'s history and approach to making their wines. All of their wines were delicious and the facilities were beautiful. Highly suggested.
Four of us traveled from South Carolina, US in July and toured the Bordeaux region. One of our favorite tour and tasting was at Chateau la Gaffeliere. Lana Yanakieva is a very fine host and guide and we enjoyed our conversation with her. All four of us agreed the wines were excellent.
VISITE TRÈS INTÉRESSANTE EFFECTUÉE AVEC BEAUCOUP DE COURTOISIE ! DÉGUSTATION QUI L\'EST TOUT AUTANT !! je recommande vivement !
Acceuil souriant, une visite tres interéssante, un très beau domaine, et des vins vraiment superbes!
Tout top! Nous avons apprecié l’air décontracté et familiale qui nous à fait sentir à l’aise, attitude qui est souvent difficile à trouver dans les grands Châteaux. Bravo!
Une visite agréable avec une charmante accompagnatrice à l\'accent des pays de l\'Est, encore un grand merci à cette personne.
Yanna, our guide, was both professional and personable. She reminded me of Leslie Caron in Gigi!
Our tour was excellent. Our guide was subbing for someone, yet she was outstanding. Warm and welcoming, excellent English, she got the whole group attention and appreciation. Thank you!
Très belle visite! Le chai est superbe ! Les vins sont excellents.
In order to promote the Chateau, my opinion is that the wines for tasting should all be of a very good standard.
Very highly recommended
Great guide. We had an amazing time.
Terrific visit and service!
Excellent acceuil. Vins de grande qualité. Visite de très bon niveau.
Visita muy recomendable
Mathieu was an excellent host who made the visit very enjoyable.
Our tour guide, Matthew, was excellent!!! I'd recommend this tour to everyone.
Very competent tour by knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English.
Seul point regrettable est que les vins sont plus chers que soit chez les revendeurs soit sur internet. Un nom-sens à mes yeux.
Tour guide very friendly and knowledgable. Spoke very good English.
Charming, welcoming, interesting and amusing. Wines delicious.
Mauvais choix des vins dégustés ( millésimes 2013.. ). pas de choix de millésimes pour achat de vin au château...
We are looking into the futures for 2015
Wish I could have purchase wine but was carrying on luggage. Will buy la Gaffelier
Nous étions avec un guide du nom de Mathieu avec qui nous avons passé un excellent moment. Personne très accueillante qui nous à fait découvrir le domaine tout en répondant à nos questions. La dégustation était très bien et nous avons découvert un vin d'une excellente qualité. Je recommande très largement la visite privée
J'aurais aimé un commentaire plus exhaustive sur le processus, le difference par rapport à d'autres vins du meme domain ( comment un certainb chateau se distingue par rapport aux autres?). Egalement, par rapport à la degustation, j'aurais aimee un comemntaire plus detaillee des carachteristiques du vin par rapport à l'autre e aux charachteristiques du terrain.
