Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (guide 2017) 2**Stars (Vintage 2014) (Outstanding wine)
Rated domain (2018 guide) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
After running a brickyard, Nicolas Gélis successfully turned to winegrowing in the Frontonnais region, successively acquiring three châteaux: Ferran (1994), Montauriol (1998) and Cahuzac (2008), and developing a trading structure. With more than 100 ha of vines on different terroirs, he has become a key player in the appellation, with Laurent Fadat at the helm of vinification.
