Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The shares published by the estate already total 100% even though it lists other grape varieties: for lack of a consistent breakdown, none are shown here.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
Why buy it
Vinified by the de Malet Roquefort familyThe owners of Château La Gaffelière, a Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, acquired it in 2001 and vinify it with the same care.
A chapel amid the vinesIt gives the estate its name and the vineyard its atmosphere, on the hills not far from Saint-Émilion.
Eighty-five percent merlotOn clay-limestone soils, complemented by cabernet franc; ten months of ageing, 20% of it in barrel.
The wine
In 2001 the de Malet Roquefort family fell for Château Chapelle d'Aliénor, whose vineyard lies on the hills not far from Saint-Emilion. Since then this château has been vinified with the same care as that given to the Grands Crus. A very particular atmosphere reigns over this vineyard, the reason being the presence of a chapel in the middle of the vines, watching over the proper ripening of the grapes.
