Famous for its Grands Vins, the Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family owned vineyard for more than 40 years and belongs to the Guibert family.
It is set in a wild and enchanting valley, close to the magnificent romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. 50 hectares of a deep, well drained soil, free from any chemical fertilisers.
2019 is a racy vintage combining elegance & full power. It rolls smoothly in the mouth, leaving crisp flavours of perfectly ripened fruit, predominately blackberry & blackcurrant. Spicy with long delicate aromas & tannin lining the mouth.
Optimal drinking window: 2033 - 2044
What the critics say:
"Aromas of dark cherries, plums, dried thyme, lavender, earth and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity. It shows wild-herb and floral character, layered with bright sour-cherry notes. Saline undertones, too. Vibrant finish. Exciting blend of grape varieties: 78% cabernet sauvignon, 4% merlot, 3% cabernet franc, 3% petit verdot, 3% pinot noir, 3% tannat, 2% malbec and 4% rare varieties. Drink or hold."
"The 2019 Mas de Daumas Gassac Red is similarly intricate and audacious, the Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend including twenty or so other varieties in its makeup. Soft, supple and juicy, its dark fruit leads to a distant finish that manages to be both savoury and chocolaty."
