Established in Cahors, France, Clos de Gamot has been meticulously stewarded by the Jouffreau family since 1610. The historic estate is renowned for preserving ancient, ungrafted Malbec vines—some over 140 years old—that survived the late-19th-century phylloxera crisis. Winemaking here favors tradition over modern trends, utilizing large, neutral oak foudres and long aging to highlight intense mineral complexity. Today, the estate beautifully balances this historic legacy with fresher, contemporary cuvées like "Le Gamotin" to showcase the full versatility of the Malbec grape.
