The winery and terroir
If walls could speak: Thanks to its solid construction, the Château de Frausseilles has survived many turbulent times and is now considered a historical jewel of the south-west of France. The Count's winery is located on the Cordais plateau in the north of the Gaillac, a forgotten wine region in south-west France. Embedded in a gentle hilly landscape along the river Tarn, the plateau with its barren soil is considered the best terroir in the region with ideal conditions for great wines. First mentioned in a document in the 15th century and probably built much earlier, Ferdinand Graf von Thun had the weather-beaten building lovingly renovated after acquiring it in 1998 and restored it to its splendour.
rarities –
Renaissance of a unique terroir
The excellent reputation of the wine region has been forgotten - what remains is a unique terroir with enormous potential to produce world-class wines again.
Two friends, one vision
The wine lover Ferdinand Graf von Thun and the oenologist Dr. Riccardo Cotarella combines a long friendship and a bold vision: to make the enchanting Château de Frausseilles one of the pioneering wineries in south-west France.
As in the 13th to 17th centuries, they want to produce independent, storable top wines of world renown - and thus herald the renaissance of the Gaillac wine region.
MORE ABOUT US
Our wines
The wines of "Comte de Thun" are ambassadors of the south-west French wine landscape. In style, they differ significantly from other wines in the area - at the same time they are quite typical of the region, after all they articulate the "Terroir Plateau Cordais" in their very own way. The wines of "Comte de Thun" are an individual expression of the vision of their creators to revive the vinological success of the "Vin de Coq".
