Neal Martin
The 2023 Clos La Gaffeliere has a discreet bouquet with quite precise dark berry, tea leaf and mint aromas that unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, veering more toward red fruit with a touch of black pepper on the finish. Delicious early drinking. 90 points

Love the bright fruit here, bright, zesty, real orange peel and tar, heavy spice but plenty of love. 45hl/ha, harvest September 7 to 29. 50% new oak, rest in stainless steel. 92 points
