n 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

Delicate and fruit forward aromas of cherry with a whisper of forest floor and spice.  Light bodied and fresh with supple tannins and flavours of sweet cherries, raspberry, fresh herbs, mocha and a suggestion of toast.  A polished and great value Pinot Noir that could work with a range of foods; some suggestions include baguette with Brie and berry compote, a beet salad with goat cheese,  tuna carpaccio, duck with a berry sauce, classic roast chicken dinner.     

Method

Pinot Noir from rich clay and limestone soils.  The grapes macerated for 3 to 5 days at low temperature to preserve the fruit, with daily pump-overs.  The wine then rested for 6 months in stainless steel tank.
