“‘A well-balanced wine, at once smooth, fresh, and flavorful, unfolds on the palate’ (Hachette)”
"This lively, cheerful, and approachable wine is crafted by Gilles Gelin, a winemaker with a passion for terroirs. On the nose, it reveals a fragrant bouquet of green apple blossoms, followed by notes of crushed seashells, chamomile, and green pear. The palate is mineral and finishes with notes of crushed stone and dried lemon peel.” (Wine Enthusiast 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Gilles Gelin is part of a new generation of Beaujolais winemakers who produce a substantial volume of wines of impeccable quality. In the 2016 vintage, we noticed a shift in the wines’ style, becoming more delicate, with a more refined aromatic profile. This style is confirmed in 2017. The wines are medium-bodied, with just the right balance. They’re reliable and a pleasure to drink. What more could you ask for?
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2026) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
This wine is made from Chardonnay vines that are about fifteen years old and was aged in tanks for six months. Elegant floral, citrus, and green apple notes rise to the nose, while a well-balanced palate—at once supple, fresh, and flavorful—unfolds on the palate.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
3-star rated estate (High-quality production)
About the estate:
The son and grandson of winemakers, Gérard Gelin acquired Clos des Nugues in 1976, before going into partnership with his son Gilles. Located in northern Beaujolais, on the border of the Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, and Morgon appellations, the estate now covers nearly 30 hectares. The average age of the vines is around 45 years, with some Gamay vines even over a century old.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Located at the crossroads of the wine regions, the Gelin family primarily produces Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages wines. A few plots in Morgon (1 hectare) and Fleurie (6 hectares) round out a range that spans from VDF to homemade crème de cassis. The wines resemble their creator, Gilles Gelin: rich in color with fruity tannins, they reveal their character over time. His white is a reliable Chardonnay in Beaujolais-Villages, which he continues to plant on suitable land. His Gamay version showcases the excellence of the Lancié terroir when cultivated with controlled yields.

About the wine:
The 2023 Beaujolais-Lancié Blanc has a slightly malic bouquet with smoky aromas that open up nicely in the glass. It is fresh and offers flavors that are more textured than fruity, with a finish tinged with candied ginger. It is, in fact, better than the previous vintage.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
It offers aromas of fresh apricots, peaches, and hazelnuts. It is creamy and full-bodied, with medium body and a fresh finish. Long-lasting. Ready to drink now.
