The historic Mas de Daumas Gassac was founded in 1974 by Aimé & Véronique Guibert. The estate was littered with hectare-sized patches of fields. Each had been previously planted to various crops and were the exact size that a horse and plow could work in a day. It also naturally fostered biodiversity.
A soil scientist from the University of Bordeaux tested the glacial limestone soils (akin to those in the Cote d’Or) and convinced them to plant grapes.The Guiberts embraced the practices of the previous farm and became the very first estate in the Languedoc to adopt full organic farming; despite the vines age, they’ve never seen a chemical.
Mas de Daumas Gassac wines have reached international cult status. Probably because no one else has a full fleet of sub $20 wines that knock it straight out of the park. The estate’s location in the Gassac Valley, not only gives it the same soil type as that of some of the best sites in Burgundy, the river provides a steady, cool microclimate for the grapes to mature nice and slowly.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.

“The 50% Moscato Bianco, 50% Brachetto is one of the most distinctive sweet wines in all of Italy. Exotic floral and spice accents soar out of the glass. Rose petal, mint, sage, dried herbs and hard candy play off bright acids and an overall feeling of crystalline energy.” -Antonio Galloni
From the famous family behind Peyrassol, comes a new Cotes du Provence smash hit. The wine is pale pink in color with notes of small wild berries on the nose complemented by a hint of juniper. This spiciness lends weight to the liveliness on the palate reminiscent of exotic citrus fruits, creating a crisp, harmonious and refreshing ensemble. Spice lingers on the palate for a full and round finish.
