History
Born in 1985, Clos La Gaffelière has his own vat room and cellars. Ageing is done, in large part, in one- and two-years old barrels. The blend is usually a large majority of Merlot (up to 90%) and the rest of Cabernet Franc 90% from our clayey foothills.
This wine made by the team of Château La Gaffelière, it is vinified and aged with just as much care as the lots making up the first wine. An authentic, pleasure-giving, and easy drinking wine.
On specific foreign markets, Clos is sold under the label DAME GAFFELIERE.
Terroir & Vinification

The whole oriented favourably to the south, receives an ideal sunshine which benefits the vine, aged 35 years. The slopes are made from clay-limestone.
