Critic reviews
"The 2023 La Gaffelière was deeply impressive out of barrel. Now in bottle, it has a sublime bouquet with precise and focused brambly red fruit, undergirded by fine mineralité and tension. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and silky smooth. Perfectly pitched acidity, this has a surfeit of nascent energy and a brightness on the finish that sets it apart from many. Gifted."

"Aromas of ripe black cherries, mulberries and touches of iodine and violet extract. Full-bodied, flavorful and structured but finely etched, with fine tannins, good acidity and a long, Fine finish. 58% merlot and 42% cabernet franc. Better from 2027."
