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.

Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.

“Deep in color and vinous in its red fruit, this is a spicy and compelling rosé. There’s pristine strawberry flavor at its core, surrounded by accents of red grapefruit, blood orange and fennel. The wine’s intensity rises like its bubbles from base note to high notes, leaving a pale red fruit ghosting in the finish.”

“The 2019 Oublié is a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Tannat and Petite Sirah with a medium ruby-purple color. The nose offers gregarious mixed berry preserves and accents of potpourri, mint and fragrant earth. The palate offers juicy appeal and powerful fruit with loads of spice and floral perfume, bursts of freshness and firm, pleasantly rustic tannins, finishing very long.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Recently Wolffer Estate has expanded their famous Rose line to now include a Cotes de Provence Rose. For my money, it’s hands down a better bottling – an energetic and super fresh pink wine created from the French staple Rose grapes of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as opposed to the Long Island version that has a whole lot of varietals mixed in. It’s bright and balanced and the perfect treat for the pool or beach as the weather warms.
