The prestige white of one of the Languedoc's most iconic estates, nicknamed "the Lafite of the Languedoc," a complex multi-varietal blend from Lutetian limestone soils with skin contact and genuine ageing potential.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass. The nose is aromatic and layered, with scents of tropical fruits, toasted nuts, and a floral complexity. On the palate it is fresh and medium-to-full bodied, with a firm, waxy texture and flavours of green apple, stone fruit, and tropical richness. The finish is long with firm acidity and a pleasingly mineral persistence.

About the Producer
Mas de Daumas Gassac was established by Aimé and Véronique Guibert in Aniane, Languedoc, after a Bordeaux soil scientist identified their limestone-rich land as having exceptional grape-growing potential akin to Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Farming organically since 1974, the estate has become one of southern France's most celebrated and unconventional producers, earning the nickname "the Lafite of the Languedoc." Their second label, Moulin de Gassac, was created in the 1990s to produce fun, accessible wines from the surrounding countryside in partnership with local growers, with vinification closely overseen by the Guibert family.
