Arnaud Gassier

Arnaud Gassier is a 28-year-old winemaker from Bages, Aude, France, who recently found himself at the center of a devastating wildfire that threatened his vineyard, Haute-Fontaine. On July 7, 2023, as flames encircled his property, he bravely assisted firefighters in battling the blaze, describing the experience as akin to a war. Gassier expressed profound gratitude for the firefighters' efforts to save his land, which he had acquired just four years prior and from which he is set to release his first vintage this year.
