Chateau de Malet Roquefort is owned by the Malet Roquefort family who have been in Saint Emilion since 1705. Their first estate was Château La Gaffelière. Overtime, the family added Château Chapelle d’Aliénor, Château Armens, and Château La Connivence, uniting them under the name of Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort. Comtesse de Malet Roquefort is their introductory wine made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc sourced primarily from their vineyards and a portion from partners. The wine is vinified by the same winemaking team that produces all their wines including the top of the line Château La Gaffelière. Grapes are processed by parcel and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The pure flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum are fresh and juicy supported by lively acidity and ripe tannins. It is a great value wine with a great pedigree that belongs on your table.
