TASTING NOTE: Dark red in colour, it has complex notes of tart red fruit and black plum with a touch of leather. This wine is mouth filling with complex fruit and great body, powerful tannins and a ripe fruit finish. It has excellent acidity.

FOOD RECOMMENDATION: Leg of lamb studded with garlic, gratin of aubergines or courgettes, roast guinea fowl on a bed of caramelised apples.

SHORT HISTORY: in 1971, the Guibert family founded the Mas de Daumas Gassac estate on an historical farm with a unique red terroir contributing to its reputation as the “First growth of the Languedoc”. With 67 estate vineyard plots, farmed in total respect of nature and surrounded by the Garrigue forest.

CLIMATE: Thanks to plenty of rain during the first half of the year, and a magnificent dry, sunny summer, the vines hardly suffered any water stress.

TERROIR: Red Glacial deposits
