It was delicious! Amuse focused on artichoke and carrot, courses focused on mushrooms, asparagus and peas.

The tasting can include either two or four wines. Our group opted to do four tastes which included a choice of either white or rose, followed by three of their reds, including a 100% Merlot, and two different red blends. All four were good, with the final pour, the Château Mauvinon 2021, being our favorite. We had made a reservation ahead of time but it was not very busy when we arrived and could imagine that they might be able to accommodate walk ins. We were also fairly hungry when we arrived and ordered two of their charcuterie boards which were a nice complement to our wine tasting. Overall, a very laid-back tasting in a beautiful environment.

She is actually the wife of the owner's son, so it was nice to have a family member actually conduct the tasting. The wine itself was fairly good. Again, I'm not an expert, but I did think that it was better than average. We ended up just buying a bottle each due to luggage restrictions. The experience was very different to a tasting at the Napa. It's a lot smaller and more intimate. You don't have the nice scenery that you get at Napa, but we spent way more time learning from AJ than we would typically spend at a Napa wine tasting.

Stopped here on our trip to St Emiilion back in July and had a pleasant experience. Did a little…read moretasting, the host was super informative. Overall decent experience. We decided to purchase wine and we were told it would be X amount of dollars to have wine shipped (maybe 30 or so). Seemed a little expensive but we were told that would cover all costs (shipping, customs, etc). Wine arrived shortly after we got home and all was good. About 3 weeks after getting home, we received an additional bill from FedEx for an additional 35 dollars for customs fees that we were told would be covered in the initial shipping cost. Essentially 65 dollars to have 3 bottles shipped. I attempted to reach out without any resolution other than "I'm sorry that happened, it happens occasionally". Over the past 3 weeks I have found all 3 bottles that we had purchased at this wine shop at various places here in the US (Costco, local artisan grocery stores, etc) for a fraction of the price of what we paid. Can't help but feel a little exploited. Not only was the wine heavily marked up but hidden costs of shipping made the price come out to an additional 20/bottle. Beware. Don't be stupid tourists like us.

We proceeded to have engaging discussions and a series of tastings including several Grands Cru Classes tastings. We discussed the classification system of Saint-Emilion, when to age wine and when to drink it, how one individual's palate and preference differs from another and how cost should not dictate perceived quality of a wine. Such an excellent place to visit and you will leave with a wealth of knowledge and hopefully a few bottles to take with you.

On the positive side, they have a large and welcoming boutique and a very friendly staff. The fermentation cats are in a large and very modern building, which was a deviation from a lot of the more traditional wineries we visited. Their wines were good, but again, not our favorites. While we got a lot of good information and enjoyed our visit, we may just prefer the more traditional looking châteaux vs the more modern like this one. Nevertheless, you will not be disappointed by your visit.

We opted for the private tour (in English) for €10 more per person than the group tour, and it was well worth it. We got to learn a lot about the history of the Château, walk the grounds, learn more about the rules of the Bordeaux wine region, and see some of the production. You then finish off with trying both their first and second label wines (Château Lascombes and Chevalier Lascombes) in the shop, which was beautifully renovated inside. It's a very different tasting experience than in Napa - it's one in one, slow paced, and a lot more educational. They are more open to visitors than some of the other places in Margaux (ex Château Margaux, Lafite, etc). If you're willing to get a car, I would definitely recommend coming out here (it's about a 45 min drive from the Bordeaux city center).

First, she was by herself and got distracted a lot. Not her fault, people kept coming in. However, you have a group, the new people can wait until you're done with the customers you're helping. Maybe that's an American idea but we were delayed because she kept having to help people coming in. Second, the tour felt rushed. She gave us some time in the aging room and the vineyard but she felt like she rushed through information. By comparison, our private tour at Couvent des Jacobins felt like the guide wanted to make sure we absorbed as much info as possiblE Third, the wine wasn't great. I love Bordeaux wine and these we're good. I wouldn't say no if you serve them to me at a dinner party. They were nice.

Chateau La Gaffeliere is 1 of 14 wineries that's classified Premier Grand Cru Classe in St Emilion,…read moreFrance. The classification is renewed every 10 years; unlike the West Bank that was classified in 1855 w/o any renewal. If you would like a visit and do a tasting, it is required to call or email ahead for an appointment. I would also recommend to make sure to request an English Speaker, unless you're fluent in French. The location is confusing with the Canon La Gaffeliere nearby, but take a look at the photos I uploaded, which should be helpful. Parking is available on the side of the road across the street. The tour was short tonight because La Gaffeliere was in middle of their Harvest, so I wasn't able to check out their facility. Vincent, our guide, was wonderful telling us bits of history of their Chateau and took us to O Tour Du 20 (wine shop) in the city of St Emilion where our tasting continued. In the end, I ended up sharing a case with 20% discount (tax) shipped back home. Yum, yum!
