Crafted by the Malet Roquefort family of Château La Gaffelière, Château Chapelle d’Aliénor 2020 is a superb Bordeaux Supérieur that overdelivers on every level. Made primarily from Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it showcases ripe red and black fruit aromas — cherry, plum, and blackberry — with hints of spice and subtle oak influence.

The palate is silky and vibrant, offering layers of juicy fruit, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity that give balance and poise. Aged partly in French oak for added texture, it captures both richness and elegance, with a finish that lingers on notes of cassis and soft vanilla. Approachable now yet capable of ageing gracefully for up to a decade, this is a refined, modern Bordeaux offering outstanding value from one of Saint-Émilion’s great winemaking families.
