Famous for its Grands Vins, the Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family owned vineyard for more than 40 years and belongs to the Guibert family.

It is set in a wild and enchanting valley, close the magnificent romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. 50 hectares of a deep, well drained soil, free from any chemical fertilisers. It is this fabulous terroir, similar to the best parts of Burgundy, that Henri Enjalbert, the great Professor of Geology at Bordeaux university, rediscovered in the 1970’s.

Drought & heat define the 2019 vintage. We faced the lowest rainfalls in years (187ml), similar level to 1989, 1990, 2010 which were vintages born in drought conditions.…Conditions where vine outperforms! Then on 29th June our yields were tremendously impacted with an impressive event: 50°C for 5 hours. However, the Gassac valley “Magical” climate with fresh nights during this summer, gave us a 2019 outstanding but rare vintage. A fantastic climatical orchestra that brought a long and gentle ripening which is the marker of excellent conditions to witness the unexpected birth of the greatest vintages.

2019 is a racy vintage combining elegance & full power. It rolls smoothly in the mouth, leaving crisp flavours of perfectly ripened fruit, predominately blackberry & blackcurrant. Spicy with long delicate aromas & tannin lining the mouth.

What the critics say:

93/100James Suckling

"Aromas of dark cherries, plums, dried thyme, lavender, earth and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity. It shows wild-herb and floral character, layered with bright sour-cherry notes. Saline undertones, too. Vibrant finish. Exciting blend of grape varieties: 78% cabernet sauvignon, 4% merlot, 3% cabernet franc, 3% petit verdot, 3% pinot noir, 3% tannat, 2% malbec and 4% rare varieties. Drink or hold."

Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

"The 2019 Mas de Daumas Gassac Red is similarly intricate and audacious, the Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend including twenty or so other varieties in its makeup. Soft, supple and juicy, its dark fruit leads to a distant finish that manages to be both savoury and chocolaty."
