Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2023

$6799

This is the wine that put the Languedoc on the fine-wine map. From their estate near Aniane in the Herault, Aime Guibert and family set out to prove Southern France could make something to sit alongside the great crus, planting cuttings of Cabernet Sauvignon from Chateau Haut-Brion and more on glacial limestone soils. The Rouge is famously made from a wild blend of up to 21 grapes each vintage, Cabernet-dominant but laced with rarities, which gives it impeccable balance, freshness and a cult following for its age-ability. Farmed organically from the beginning. The 2023 is built for the long haul, though decanting helps if you open one young.

More about Mas de Daumas Gassac

Few winemakers have come to define their region like Mas de Daumas Gassac has with the Languedoc. What sets Mas de Daumas Gassac apart is their unflinching commitment to pushing the boundaries — of the appellation’s rules, of conventional farming techniques, of “expected” grape varieties.

Aimé and Véronique Guibert purchased the land in the early 1970s; they had planned to start a farm, but weren't sure what type of crops they wanted to grow. It took convincing from a Bordeaux-based soil scientist, who saw great grape-growing potential in the limestone-rich land, as densely mineral-laden as Burgundy’s Côte d'Or.

Making wine in the Languedoc is nothing new — the Greeks and Romans were doing it millennia ago. In planting their estate to vines, the Guiberts chose to buck local tradition and plant a wide (very wide) assortment of international grapes; there’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, sure, but also Petite Arvine, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo and more. Prior to owning the estate, the Guiberts traveled the world as part of a family leather business, and became enamored with grapes from far-off and exotic locales.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast lamb, beef daube, venison, grilled ribeye, or hard aged cheeses. A natural with herb-crusted red meats.

Tasting Profile

Dark berry and cassis with garrigue herbs and earth. Full but fresh, firm tannins, real acidity, and a long, structured finish.
