The Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2023 is a wine that reminds you why this estate has long been called 'the Lafite of the Languedoc'. It’s a beautifully composed red, elegant yet full of southern warmth, crafted from a Bordeaux-inspired blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Syrah, Merlot, and a few Mediterranean surprises. The nose is rich with blackcurrant, wild herbs, and a touch of cedar, while the palate strikes that perfect balance between ripe fruit, freshness, and gentle spice. It’s layered, refined, and unmistakably Gassac; complex without being showy, structured yet inviting. Renowned for its Grands Vins, Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family-owned vineyard for over 40 years, proudly belonging to the Guibert family. Nestled in a wild and enchanting valley near the magnificent Romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, the estate spans 50 hectares of deep, well-drained soil, untouched by chemical fertilisers.
