The Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2023 is a wine that reminds you why this estate has long been called 'the Lafite of the Languedoc'. It’s a beautifully composed red, elegant yet full of southern warmth, crafted from a Bordeaux-inspired blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Syrah, Merlot, and a few Mediterranean surprises.

The nose is rich with blackcurrant, wild herbs, and a touch of cedar, while the palate strikes that perfect balance between ripe fruit, freshness, and gentle spice. It’s layered, refined, and unmistakably Gassac; complex without being showy, structured yet inviting.

Renowned for its Grands Vins, Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family-owned vineyard for over 40 years, proudly belonging to the Guibert family. Nestled in a wild and enchanting valley near the magnificent Romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, the estate spans 50 hectares of deep, well-drained soil, untouched by chemical fertilisers.

What the critics say:

17+/20Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson

"A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) plus many other varieties, including Tannat, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and 'rare varieties' such as Nielluccio, Montepulciano, Saperavi, Carménère, Tempranillo, Abouriou. Some of the plots are field blends. Hand-harvested, co-fermented at around 28 °C. Aged 18–22 months, 50% in oak (part new, the rest 1–7 years old) and 50% in tank. Unfiltered. Cask sample. Very dark with purple rim. Intoxicatingly pure and intense aroma of blackcurrants with a delicate and attractive herbal/leafy note. Floral, too. Smells very 'purple'. On the palate, this is already smooth, the tannins rounded but still deft and compact, embryonically elegant. Very primary now but has the balance and fruit quality to age for a very long time. Long finish, too."
