Mas de Daumas Gassac
Mas de Daumas Gassac wine 

Located in the hinterland of the Hérault region, Mas de Daumas Gassac was brought to life by the couple Aimé and Véronique Guibert in 1970. The 50 hectares of vineyards are planted with ancient, non-cloned grape varieties. This authenticity has rapidly made Mas de Daumas Gassac wine famous. Indeed, the advice and assistance of the famous oenologist Emile Peynaud enabled the couple to create the first vintage of Mas de Damas Gassac in 1978. 

Different vines for different tastes

Thanks to its sandstone soil, numerous grape varieties are planted here, including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Syrah and other rare varieties. Red, White or even a Rosé Frizant are barrel-matured with passion and expertise.
French know-how

On these lands of the Hérault region, the Guibert family works with kindness and respect for the vineyard. One watchword reigns over the estate: the environment. To preserve the forest, the family has decided to use small areas for their vines. Indeed, the Guiberts are keen to preserve the wilderness that surrounds them. What's more, the only compost used is made from Larzac sheep manure.
The wonderful Mas de Daumas Gassac estate, set on stony hillsides, produces low yields, friendly and highly original wines, rich in Languedoc sunshine and iodized Mediterranean sea spray, mainly in the Vin de Pays de l'Hérault appellation.

"This grand cuvée strikes a perfect balance between richness and freshness. Unforgettable!"

A judicious blend of different grape varieties for this great Languedoc white. The initial nose is floral, opening onto delicate notes of yellow-fleshed fruit. Very energetic on the palate, the balance is astounding. The finish is round with gourmand notes, supported by light tannins and delicate bitters.

"The estate's flagship cuvée and the legacy of Aimé Guibert's exceptional knowledge of these beautiful Aniane terroirs.

"Six months in cask for this Chardonnay-dominated blend, but it's the fruit (peach and nectarine) that asserts itself on the nose, without excess and with finesse. Tender and fresh, bursting with fruit and citrus, the palate finishes pleasantly acidic. An invigorating everyday white, perfect with poultry or grilled fish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023)

Rosé Frizant comes from young vines in the Daumas Gassac vineyard, and is a highly original addition to the range. A natural sparkling wine, probably the estate's most playful, a true Gassac Valley rosé that shines with the freshness of its fine bubbles. An excellent aperitif companion!

"With friends for guaranteed fun!

"Viognier, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, aged in vats, are beautifully combined in this dashing white, with a springtime nose of rose and white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it's just as intensely perfumed, seductively long-lasting, with just the right balance of sweetness and freshness. A harmonious white to drink now. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) To share as an aperitif.
