Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rouge, 2020

Famous for its Grands Vins, the Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family owned vineyard for more than 40 years and belongs to the Guibert family.

It is set in a wild and enchanting valley, close the magnificent romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. 50 hectares of a deep, well drained soil, free from any chemical fertilisers.
It is this fabulous terroir, similar to the best parts of Burgundy, that Henri Enjalbert, the great Professor of Geology at Bordeaux university, rediscovered in the 1970’s.

The 2020 Rouge is set to be a towering achievement for the Domaine. A vintage characterised by serene weather throughout the year, followed by a fine, warm summer leading right up to harvest, the Guiberts are already comparing the wine to the glorious 2000, with silky tannins, perfect balance and tremendous aging potential. Given last year's outing scored 17.5+ points from Jancis Robinson, we're expecting even bigger things for the 2020!
