Nicolas Seillan, a seventh-generation vigneron, has been appointed President of Château Lassegue, adding to his current role as senior vice president of finance. Seillan's extensive experience in winemaking and management is set to drive the estate's future.

Seillan's journey began with learning the craft from his father, Pierre Seillan, a renowned vigneron.
