originality

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!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Much has been written about the Mas de Daumas-Gassac. Aimé Guibert - who passed away in 2016 - was able to identify qualitative terroirs in Aniane that were suitable for a Cabernet Sauvignon that was not authorized by local appellations. For white wines, he also chose to vinify a blend of chardonnay, viognier and petit manseng, which was also forbidden by the appellation. His estate thus produces a red (a blend of 80% uncloned Cabernet Sauvignon and some twenty other grape varieties, most of them rare) and a white (also multi-varietal) IGP de l'Hérault, which he has managed to impose at a price level unheard of in this category. The white is aged in stainless steel tanks, while the red is partially aged in barrels. The wines, both white and red, are of unrivalled purity, precision and complexity, and age remarkably well. The range is completed by pleasant igps, designed to be drunk quickly. A sure bet for the region.

About the domain :

A fine example of the breakthrough of Languedoc wines across the five continents, this estate, founded in 1971 by Aimé and Véronique Guibert, caused a stir a few years ago by offering vins de pays at the same price as great Bordeaux wines. However, it has remained at the top of the list with wines of consistent quality and remarkable ageing potential. A benchmark now run by the founders' sons.

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Aimé Guibert was a key figure in the revival of Languedoc winegrowing and its French and then international recognition, after acquiring his old farmhouse cradled by the sound of the Gassac river. He was instrumental in bringing out the full potential of the limestone terroir of the Upper Gassac Valley, composed of glacial sandstone in the foothills of the Cévennes. The diurnal amplitude and the nature of the soils convinced him that this was a great terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon, which would be produced by massal selection from the best Bordeaux châteaux. Aimé's sons Samuel, Gaël, Roman and Basile now preside over the estate's destiny. Daumas Gassac has distinguished itself by its potential and longevity. Like the world's great Cabernet Sauvignons, it is best enjoyed after at least a decade. If the work is immense and undeniable, and the quality of the reds is always there (even if the wines don't necessarily carry the identity of the place), we expect much more from the whole range.
