“'Lively and flavorful' (Suckling)”

“Power, harmony, length… Gilles Gelin has crafted an exceptional Fleurie here, notable for its intensity both on the palate and on the nose. This cuvée immediately reveals generous notes of flowers and red fruits, enhanced by spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with impeccable balance, supported throughout its finish by tannins that are distinctly present yet very fine-grained and should soften quickly.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Gilles Gelin is part of this young 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—they’ve become more delicate, with greater aromatic precision. This style is confirmed in 2017. The wines are medium-bodied and perfectly balanced. They’re reliable and a pleasure to drink. What more could you ask for?

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Estate rated 3 stars (Very high-quality production)

About the estate:

The son and grandson of winemakers, Gérard Gelin acquired the Clos des Nugues in 1976, before going into business with his son Gilles. Located in the northern Beaujolais region, on the border of the Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, and Morgon appellations, the estate now spans nearly 30 hectares. The average age of the vines is around 45 years, with some Gamay vines even dating back more than a century.

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 various 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 extends 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 wine is a reliable Chardonnay from Beaujolais-Villages, which he continues to plant on suitable land. His Gamay shows off the excellence of the Lancié terroir when cultivated with controlled yields.

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Purple in color, this wine offers subtle aromas of black plum and black olive that enhance notes of red cherry. On the palate, it is more reserved, revealing chalky, linear flavors of black fruit that linger in the long finish.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

Aromas of cranberries, pomegranates, and dried flowers emerge on the nose of this lively, flavorful red wine. It is medium-bodied, with crisp, even slightly velvety tannins. Produced using sustainable farming practices. Best enjoyed in 2026.
