On the palate, a distinct chalky minerality, a slight sweetness rounds out the fruit and softens the structure. The balance between freshness, texture, and subtle richness makes this an great second wine.

The 2022 Clos la Gaffelière bursts from the glass with an intense, youthful bouquet of blackberry liqueur, crushed violets, and sweet spice.
