Mas de Daumas Gassac
Aimé Guibert was a lawyer, who in 1970 bought Mas de Daumas Gassac as a country retreat.
The estate is located in a hidden valley 30 kilometres north-west of
Montpellier in the heart of the Herault.
Famously described as the First Growth of the Languedoc , Mas De Daumas Gassac is the brainchild of Aimé Guibert, oneologist Emile Peynaud, and geologist Henri Enjalbert. Aimé first planted vines in 1974 and produced his first wines in 1978.The identification of Burgundian terroir and an extraordinary micro-climate, dominated by gentle garrigue slopes and cool underground springs, led to the challenge to reproduce the quality of the best Médoc Châteaux in the enclave of Aniane, located just north of Montpellier. The gauntlet has been passed from Aimé, now retired, to sons Samuel and Roman, and the challenge has been successfully met.

The red is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend that is rich, elegant and packed with cassis and cedarwood notes. It needs at least five years of bottle ageing to show at its best and not for nothing is it described as the Lafite of Languedoc.
A brilliant white made from Viognier, Chardonnay, Muscat and Petit Manseng is also produced.

Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc is a blend dominated by the quartet of Viognier, Chardonnay , Petit Manseng and Chenin Blanc, which between them make up 80% of the final assemblage . The balance is, as is traditional here and as with the red, a palette of different varieties, some, such as ...

The white from Daumas Gassac has long been a favourite of mine, in its own way just as influential as the red; indeed in the selection of grape varieties, namely equal shares of Viognier, Petit Manseng, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, it has probably been more influential. It is great to see ... MORE |

The 2007 Mas de Daumas Gassac red includes a combined total of around 20% Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Tannat, and a 10% mixture (like its white counterpart) of assorted, at times exotic varieties. A rather reductive overlay to a nose initially dominated by pungent herbs ... MORE |

The red is wonderfully aromatic, cassis and mulberries, its smorgasbord of grape varieties captured in a spicy complexity, its fundamental ripeness affording a rich and velvety mouth feel. A Vin De Gard, no doubt, but already approachable, such is its silky charm. |

2009 was hot in the middle of summer, but the Gassac water-table had been well nourished in the Spring and the vines did not have to struggle too much. The Guiberts, père et fils, have no hesitation in lauding the wine as a worthy companion, when mature, to the 2000, the 1988 and the ...
