Clos la Gaffelière 2020

Vintage 2020
The nose is expressive and precise, combining aromas of ripe dark fruits, cherry, and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the entry is broad and silky, supported by lovely freshness. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, providing structure and elegance to the wine. The finish is long, balanced, and harmonious, with a persistent fruity expression.

Le Figaro
April 2023
Ranked among the top 15 second wines from Bordeaux’s star estates.
"A beautiful balance."

James Suckling – 92/100
"The wine shows a profile of dark fruits, accompanied by notes of chocolate, crushed nuts, black licorice, and cedarwood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, supported by firm and structured tannins. The whole is taut and precise, with a refined finish marked by mineral notes of crushed stone and walnut shell. An excellent second wine, best enjoyed from 2025."
