We are very proud to have Mas de Daumas Gassac’s wines on our portfolio. 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 the Languedoc’ with their flagship, complex Estate wines and now a much more affordable everyday range.
The creation of Daumas Gassac wines is attributed to Professor Emile Peynaud, hence their finest wine is named in his honour. Emile Peynaud is the man who taught the Daumas Gassac team everything they know and revealed the art of crafting wine that reflects the exceptional terroir of the Gassac Valley.
The 2001 vintage has a very focused and dense nose of red fruit and a backbone of oak elements. The wines as evolved with dried berries and prune notes after two decades of bottle ageing. The palate shows both fresh and dried fruits, vanilla, supported with silky tannins and a lingering finish.
Cuvee Emile Peynaud is only made in the best vintages. Only a very small amount was produced, no doubt a rare find. With 22 years of bottle ageing, it is at its peak for enjoyment. Be sure to decant 3-4 hours before serving to reveal its full potential.
