Vintage Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2002

£99.00

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.

This is their now-famous Estate Red produced on a terroir of deep glacial sandstone in a cool microclimate. A very classic Languedoc red blend with classic winemaking techniques and ageing in oak barrels. This fantastic, powerful, complex wine can be drunk in its youth between 3 and 5 years, in maturity from 10 to 15 years or in majesty from 15 to 25 years.

Now fully matured. The 2002 vintage opens up with a fragrant and attractively rustic nose with lovely aromas of leather and dried herbs, blackcurrant, ripe black cherry, fruit cake and dried flowers. The wine is medium-bodied, textural and wonderfully silky on the palate with flavours of black raspberries and some tertiary and slightly oxidative notes of savoury spice and gamey meat. The finish is long, intense and profound.

This will be a gem to drink on any occasion.
