Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2021
Made mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, this classic red also brings forth most of the red varietals of the world that M. Guibert de la Vassière has spent the better part of the past 25 years collecting in his unique vineyards.
Because of the dominant role played by this Bordeaux grape varietal, Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge follows the structure and aromatics of the Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the other grape varietals combined with the Mediterranean climate and unique terroir bring something unique to this wine.
The vineyards, surrounded by the garrigue of the Languedoc pick up the aromatics during flowering, which in turn give the wine flavors that are unique to this area.
Dark, intense color with some notes of chocolate, iron, dark berry and wild herbs lead into a wine with firm, ripe tannins and good tension. In its youth, the fruit dominates, easily coating the structure, but with time, it will turn into a classy, claret styled wine that can hang with the best.

Reviews
James Suckling – “Dark berries, leather, pencil lead, roasted meat, dried herbs, bell peppers, cumin, bay leaves and some stones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity yet it has more intensity to deliver on the mid-palate. It’s poised with a restrained power. Harmonious and agile with great balance and vitality. Long, crunchy and developing finish. Try after 2026” (94 Pts)
