The 2015 Original has a round palate, with notes of orange and ripe cherry, supported by a lovely tannic structure. A hint of licorice on the finish adds a very pleasant sensation of freshness. A great value!

About the estate:
Nicolas Gélis, formerly the manager of a brick factory, successfully transitioned into winemaking in the Frontonnais region; he successively acquired three châteaux—Ferran (1994), Montauriol (1998), and Cahuzac (2008)—and developed a wine trading business. With more than 100 hectares of vineyards across different terroirs, he has become a mainstay of the appellation, with Laurent Fadat overseeing winemaking.
