In the early 1990s, the Guibert family (of Mas Gausac) wanted to create a collection of more accessible wines in the great terroirs on the amphitheater site of Villeveyrac in Hérault. They partnered with about 30 winegrowers of the Villeveyrac cellar and created a second line of wines called Moulin de Gassac.
For over 30 years, the authentic production approach has continued to drive the search for quality in this vineyard. Across 250 hectares, all the plots are subject to ambitious specifications : selection of vines according to terroir, low yields, plot-by-plot vinification in dedicated vats to name a few. The wines are produced under the guidance of two agricultural engineers who are involved in the viticulture and winemaking processes.
Tasting Notes
Method
The plots for the white and rosé vintages are selected from the edge of the Thau lagoon, around the village of Pinet on a clay-limestone plateau loaded with quartz pebbles with a sloping profile. A privileged terroir benefiting from the Mediterranean, it produces wines of remarkable freshness. “Eraus” is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Rolle (aka Vermentino). The grapes are 100% destemmed, 10 to 12 hours of skin maceration in a refrigerated tank followed by pressing and vinification under temperature control. Between 4 to 5 months in stainless steel vats.
