Who makes it?

Famously described as the ‘First Growth of the Languedoc’, Mas De Daumas Gassac remains unique in the region.

The world-famous red is an intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon along with a mix of indigenous and more unusual varieties from the south of France, such as Grenache, Cinsualt and Tempranillo. Mas De Daumas Gassac Blanc is a similarly fascinating blend of grape varieties, with Chardonnay and Viognier taking centre stage. Lauded across the wine world, not for nothing is this Domaine named the Lafite of the Languedoc.
How is it made?

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.2% Cabernet Franc, 5.3% Merlot, 3.6% Pinot noir, 3.2% Tannat, 2% Malbec, 9.7% rare grape varieties : Petit Verdot, Abouriou (France), Nielluccio, Montepulciano (Italie), Saperavi (Géorgie), Carménère (France), Tempranillo (Espagne).

Ageing is for 12 to 15 months in oak barrel (1 to 7 years old barrels).
What does it taste like?

A splendid vintage, very full and rich, bursting with ripe fruit, with an excellent acidity thot eni ivens the noble, perfectly mature flavours.
