The richness and freshness of a great white wine from the Languedoc

The estate

Founded in 1971 by Véronique and Aimé Guibert, Mas de Daumas Gassac is an emblematic family estate located in Aniane, in the heart of the Languedoc. Following in the historical footsteps of a terroir revealed by monks thirteen centuries earlier, the estate quickly established itself as an essential reference. Today led by Roman Guibert, representative of the new generation, the estate perpetuates a demanding philosophy. It stands out for its determination to produce cellaring wines of great elegance, reflecting all the singularity and richness of its preserved environment.

The vineyard

From the IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, this wine comes from the Haute Vallée du Gassac. The vines flourish within a preserved natural environment, fostering rich biodiversity. The terroir is characterised by deep, poor and perfectly drained soils, composed of glacial scree. This unique geographical setting benefits from a specific microclimate, cooled at night by the air currents descending from the Larzac plateau. These ideal conditions allow for a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes, giving this Languedoc wine its freshness and ageing potential.
