There are some wines that are completely nostalgic and will always have a soft spot in our glasses! 🙏
For me, Mas de Daumas Gassac is absolutely one of those wines…Period, end of story! 🔥
When I was just a kid learning about wine I bought the book Adventures on the Wine Route by Kermit Lynch and when I got the chapter about this winery mind was completely blown! 🤯
If you haven’t read this book and want to learn the history behind some of the greatest French wine imported into the US…BUY IT NOW — 📚
The visionary owner Aimé Guilbert created this winery literally out of nothing in a time when wines from this region Languedoc were sold in bulk and completely insipid. 👑
His vision was to create a Grand Cru wine that could stand up against the great wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône etc… 🙌
In the end, he succeeded and now this winery and wines stand amongst the greats in the world! 🌍
The Rouge is around 75% Cabernet every year and has another dozen or so varieties blended into the mix. The Blanc also follows this kitchen sink blend formula! 🍇 . If you haven’t had this wine go and find a bottle!🍷
