Mas de Daumas Gassac Moulin Guilhem Rose 2023 (Case Only Price)

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.
