Mas de Daumas Gassac's red wine has been praised as 'the only grand cru of the Midi' (Hugh Johnson), 'a Lafite in Languedoc' (Gault & Millau), 'one of the 10 best wines in the world' (Michael Broadbent), and 'exceptional' (Robert Parker). Within 40 years, Mas de Daumas Gassac's wines have reached a rare 'cult' status and have established a style of their own. The land had been farmed in the traditional way for thousands of years before the Guibert family established this 'grand cru' vineyard in the Gassac valley, divided into 63 small plots among 3,000 hectares of protected forest, and cultivated without any chemicals or pesticides. More than 40 different grape varieties flourish in the unique soil and cool microclimate, and the winemaking is inspired by the great oenologist Professor Emile Peynaud.
