Made primarily from Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc, this second wine from Château La Gaffelière has a beautifully expressive nose, brimming with ripe red berries, dark cherries, and subtle floral notes, all wrapped in a hint of spice and earthy minerality. An authentic, pleasure-giving and easy drinking wine. Since its creation in the mid 1980s, Clos La Gaffelière has its own vat room and cellars. Ageing is done, in large part, in one and two year old barrels.
