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.
2007 was the estate’s 30th vintage and is currently drinking incredibly well. Deep, rich crimson in colour, the wine has aromas of rich red berry fruit, ripe black cherry, stew plums, Mediterranean herbs, leather and subtle spice. The palate is beautifully smooth with silky tannins and intense, smoky bramble fruit. The finish is intense and long lasting, a testament to the estate’s quality winemaking.
A delicious treat that will pair perfectly with a game dishes such as Duck or steak.
