Grand Vins Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge (750ml)

Towards the end of the 1960s, Véronique and Aimé Guibert launched themselves on a wine adventure, following in the footsteps of the monks at Aniane Abbey 13 centuries ago.  Their vision brought us the wines of Mas de Daumas Gassac. The couple did not come from winemaking families; Véronique Guibert de la Vaissiere is an ethnologist, specializing in the myths and traditions of Celtic Ireland and Aimé Guibert came from an old family of glovers and tanners.   

On the recommendation of their geologist friend specialising in the relationship between soils and grapes, they planted 17,000 non-cloned Cabernet-Sauvignon grafts sourced from top Bordeaux properties.  They also have an eclectic mix of atypical / rare grapes planted.  An underground cellar was built on the site of the former Gallo-Roman watermill adjacent to the farmhouse, over the cold spring water from the river Gassac.

Since its first release the wines of Mas de Daumas Gassac have been hailed by critics and connoisseurs as Languedoc’s Chateau Lafite. 

The management of the property and the vinifications has since been transferred to the second generation; Samuel, Gaël, Roman and Basile. Today, the family upholds the values of respect for “Mother Nature” and for the pure expression of the terroir: the foundations of the property’s wines since its creation.
