More About The Winery
Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of the most iconic estates of the Languedoc, located in the Gassac Valley near Aniane. Founded in the early 1970s by Aimé Guibert, the domaine quickly gained international recognition for producing wines of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, often compared to classified growth Bordeaux despite being outside the traditional hierarchy. Today, the estate is run by the Guibert family, continuing the original vision.
The vineyards are planted in a unique cool microclimate surrounded by forest, with complex glacial and limestone soils. This natural environment preserves freshness and allows for slow, balanced ripening. The red wine is based primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by a diverse range of varieties including Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and others, creating a distinctive and complex blend.
Viticulture is carried out with great respect for biodiversity, with low yields and meticulous vineyard work. In the cellar, winemaking remains traditional, with gentle extraction and ageing designed to preserve elegance and structure rather than power.
Mas de Daumas Gassac wines are known for their balance, aromatic complexity, and remarkable ageing potential, combining Mediterranean character with Bordeaux-like refinement.
