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 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, many 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 fruits. Very energetic on the palate, the balance is astonishing. The finish is round with gourmand notes, supported by light tannins and delicate bitters.

"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)

"The centerpiece of the estate

"Aged for 12 months in old barrels, this expressive cuvée blends ripe red fruit with notes of undergrowth and licorice. A bouquet that comes to life on a serious, consistent palate: fleshy attack, mid-palate firmed by tight tannins, long, relaxed finish on licorice and orange zest. Let it breathe in the cellar. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023) This is the estate's flagship cuvée, and the legacy of Aimé Guibert's exceptional knowledge of these fine Aniane terroirs.

Albaran is virile and rustic, with a nose of ripe candied fruit and fruit in alcohol. The attack on the palate opens with notes of very ripe red fruit, powerful, round and warm tannins, and a persistence of toasty notes. Excellent value for money!
