Clos-La-Gaffelière is the second wine of Château La Gaffelière, one of the oldest family-owned estates in Saint Emilion. It is also one of the most prestigious having been ranked as a Premier Grand Cru Classe in the original 1955 Saint Emilion Classification. It lies to the south of the town of Saint Emilion on the Saint Emilion plateau neighbouring Chateau Ausone and Chateau Pavie. The vineyards are predominantly Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc. There’s a noticeable elegance to it, though it also offers power and succulence in exceptional years such as 2018.

91 Points - Decanter

"Full of rich red fruits, this is long, sweet and powerfully silky. It's an excellent second wine which now includes some Premier Grand Cru Classé B vines, as they have tightened selection for the grand vin. One to enjoy."

About the Producer

This is an ancient estate and grapes have been grown in its location since Roman times. In keeping with its illustrious neighbours, Ausone and Pavie, it sits on the limestone plateau and its soils vary from clay-limestone (ideal for Merlot) to more silica-rich soils at the foot of the slope. The first vintage of Clos-La-Gaffelière was made in 1985 and is now made by the same team as Château La Gaffelière. The blend is usually made up of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc that’s aged in large one and two-year-old barrels that were previously used for the Grand Vin. The idea is to create an earlier drinking, more accessible version of the first wine, without losing its essential complexity and character.
