Vintage Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2016

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.

The 2016 vintage is currently at its youth with fresh and juicy fruit and silky tannins to the fore. The palate starts to reveal the complexity of dried berries and tertiary notes such as a hint of savouriness and smoked meat. A delicious and invigorating wine to drink and will age for the next 10-20 years.
