Daniel Cahthiard

Daniel Cathiard makes Château Gaudin in Pauillac — one of only four independent winemakers left in this famous commune — using an ancient hydraulic basket press cast by the Gustave Eiffel foundry, with vines averaging 35 years old and pockets exceeding 60. His wife Linette Capdeville has been making wine here since she was nine, and their minimal-intervention approach produces wines of real Médoc character.
