Description
Having believed in making wine in what was a farming county many decades ago, their belief in the region paid off with them proving the soil and terroir could make outstanding wine. Now generations on, they are well regarded as the ‘first growth of Languedoc’ with their flagship, complex Estate wines and now a much more affordable everyday range.
Often referred to as ‘Languedoc’s Château Lafite’, Mas de Daumas Gassac stands as a true icon of French wine. Since the first vintage in 1978, renowned wine critics, the likes of Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker, and Clive Coates MW, have praised the wines of Mas de Daumas Gassac for their remarkable elegance, finesse, and complexity.
Merlot is often overlooked and has so much to offer! Deep sultry red in the glass, the nose gives aromas of summer berries and a hint of spice. The palate is well balanced, round and fruity with a big mix of red, blue and black fruits. The finish is smooth and harmonious, with a touch of roasted coffee. This is the perfect easy drinking style that is characteristic of the everyday Moulin de Gassac range.
