It is well-known for the high quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon-predominant flagship wine, earning the estate the nickname \"the Lafite of the Languedoc\". The estate is located around 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Montpellier, near the town of Gignac. Sited away from established, well-known appellations, the wine has been produced as a Vin de Table and under several IGP classifications, with recent vintages being classified as IGP St. Guilhem-le-Désert – Cité d'Aniane. The winery cellars were built in the foundations of a Gallo-Roman mill and on the site of its former pond. Wines are vinified in stainless steel vats with natural air conditioning provided by two springs running under the cellars. This slows down ferments, allowing complex flavor development. The Mas de Daumas Gassac red is an aromatic, full-bodied wine made from around 70 to 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with a mix of 17 other indigenous and international varieties such as Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Tannat. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged for 12-15 months in oak barrels, and bottled unfiltered. It can be laid down for several decades, but is also approachable when young. A handful of vintages over the last few decades have been deemed special enough to warrant the production of 2000 bottles of the 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée Émile Peynaud. The estate also makes a white wine from Petit Manseng, Viognier, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. It is unusual in that it is allowed to macerate on its skins for five to seven days before being fermented in stainless steel. It is then filtered through fossilized seashells before being returned to the vats to mature for two to four months before bottling. Mas de Daumas Gassac white is subtly ripe and well-textured. It can be enjoyed while fresh, or aged for three to six years to be enjoyed in a more Sherry-like oxidative style. There is also the Rosé Frizant sparkling wine, made in a closed tank from free-run juice. 70 percent is Cabernet Sauvignon from the younger estate vineyards, with the remainder a combination of Mourvèdre, Pinot Noir and the white grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng and Muscat. Vin de Laurence is an unusual double fermented dessert wine; Special grapes are harvested under-ripe and fermented, then juice from over-ripe Muscat, picked much later in October, is added for the second fermentation.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-25T13:35:46-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-23T15:34:41-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Mas de Daumas Gassac","Region_Languedoc-Roussillon","RK2207","Source_Hedonism0723","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay","Varietal_Viognier"],"price":10480000,"price_min":10480000,"price_max":10480000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43047379599498,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Mas de Daumas Gassac | Blanc","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":10480000,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_1622f5c4-8879-410a-bbe9-2e39a53fc140.jpg?v=1690140916"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_1622f5c4-8879-410a-bbe9-2e39a53fc140.jpg?v=1690140916","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Mas de Daumas Gassac | Blanc at CaskCartel.com","id":24831740280970,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.326,"height":341,"width":111,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_1622f5c4-8879-410a-bbe9-2e39a53fc140.jpg?v=1690140916"},"aspect_ratio":0.326,"height":341,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_1622f5c4-8879-410a-bbe9-2e39a53fc140.jpg?v=1690140916","width":111}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Mas de Daumas Gassac | Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh, succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone.
