Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of the great estates of the Languedoc. Indeed, it is often referred to as the Languedoc’s Grand Cru or First Growth, and I am just one of many to have fallen under its spell.
The estate’s Moulin de Gassac range is famously accessible and shares the same pedigree and winemaking philosophy as that of Mas de Daumas Gassac, and speaks just as resolutely of its terroir.
It is also extremely well-priced, particularly so for readers of The Spectator since our partners Mr Wheeler have lopped off up to £1.50 a bottle. Several of these wines aren’t available anywhere else and those that are won’t be so keenly priced. Fill your boots.
The 2016 Moulin de Gassac ‘Guilhem’ Blanc (1) is a slowly macerated, cool fermented blend of Grenache Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Terret Blanc that’s full of white stone fruit and a delightful freshness.
