Tasting notes:

Made with Viognier, Petit Manseng, Chardonnay, Chenin and a blend of varietals including Roussane and Fiano. Fermented in stainless steel vats. Aromas of stone fruit with hints of nuts. Medium-bodied and round on the palate with a refreshing finish.

Producer description:

Founded by Véronique et Aimé Guibert, who fell in love with the property in the 1970s, this estate is planted with non-cloned Cabernet Sauvignon (as planted in the Medoc prior to 1914) alongside Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Tannat. Helped by the expertise of oenologist Emile Peynaud, who consulted at Ch. Margaux, Haut-Brion and La Lagune, they gave birth to Mas de Daumas Gassac, which quickly gained fame and was referred to as the “Ch. Lafite of the Languedoc”. Today, their children run the estate. In a constant search to make authentic wines, they work all vines following biodynamic principle while keeping the yields as low as possible.
