Winemaking & Terroir:
The vineyards of Château La Gaffelière benefit from a mix of limestone, clay, and gravel soils that promote concentration and expressive fruit. Following hand harvesting and meticulous sorting, fermentation takes place in traditional vats, with extended maceration to extract refined tannins and complexity. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to add structure and gentle spice while preserving the purity and vibrancy of the fruit. This thoughtful oak integration enhances longevity and balance without overpowering the wine’s core character.
