1995 Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge

Founded in the late 1960s by Aimé Guibert and his wife Véronique, Mas de Daumas Gassac was born from their recognition of the extraordinary potential of the remote Gassac valley.  With early guidance from legendary oenologist Émile Peynaud, the estate transformed perceptions of the quality possible in the region.  Often referred to as “the Lafite of the Languedoc”, the world-famous red is an intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon alongside indigenous and less common southern varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault and Tempranillo. 

"The 1995 Rouge is a pretty wine, but it is also a touch faded, so I would suggest drinking it sooner rather than later. Dried flowers, mint, sweet red cherry, cinnamon and earthy notes give the 1995 lovely aromatic breadth to match its mid-weight personality. Drink 2020-2025."  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Oct 2020
