Vintage Mas de Daumas Gassac Emile Peynaud 2008

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 2008 vintage wine has a deep and intense red colour with a powerful and fruity aroma that resembles the aromas of Pauillac wines from the left bank of Bordeaux. It has ripe blackcurrants and other red and black berries, along with well-integrated oaky notes. With 16 years of bottle ageing, it has entered its peak for enjoyment. Be sure to decant 3-4 hours before serving to reveal its full potential.
