L'Original 2015 is round on the palate, with notes of orange and ripe cherry, supported by a fine tannic structure. A touch of licorice on the finish gives a very pleasant sensation of freshness. Great value for money!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
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.
