Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Gilles Gelin is part of a young generation of Beaujolais winemakers who produce a large volume of wines of impeccable quality. In the 2016 vintage, we noticed a shift in the style of the wines, which became more delicate, with a more refined aromatic precision. This style was confirmed in 2017. The wines are medium-bodied, with just the right balance. They are reliable and enjoyable. What more could you ask for?
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
3-star estate (very high-quality production)
About the estate:
The son and grandson of winegrowers, Gérard Gelin acquired Clos des Nugues in 1976, before joining forces with his son Gilles. Located in the north of Beaujolais, on the edge of the Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, and Morgon appellations, the estate now covers almost 30 hectares. The average age of the vines is around 45 years, with some Gamay vines even over a century old.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
At the crossroads of wine regions, the Gelin family mainly produces Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages wines. A few plots in Morgon (1 hectare) and Fleurie (6 hectares) complete a range that extends from VDF to homemade crème de cassis. The wines resemble their creator, Gilles Gelin: rich in color with fruity tannins, they reveal themselves over time. His white wine is a metronomic Chardonnay in Beaujolais-Villages, which he continues to plant on suitable land. His Gamay version shows the excellence of the Lancié terroir when worked with adjusted yields.
