Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of the great names in the French wine firmament, having built its extraordinarily strong reputation for consistently fine-quality wines in a remarkably short time. Dubbed ‘the Lafite of the Languedoc’ by the influential Gault et Milau guide, the estate owes its existence to the vision of its founders, the late Aimé Guibert and his wife Véronique, who moved to the remote Gassac valley in the late 1960s. Today the estate is run by four of the Guibert sons, who continue to push the quality boundaries.

Our en primeur offer features the 2024 Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge, a harmoniously balanced, vibrant blend of mainly cabernet sauvignon, with a plethora of other varieties in support, both French and ‘foreign’. The wine is still in barrel, but will be bottled in the new year in 75cl and 150cl formats.
In addition, for the first time ever, we’re offering the latest vintage of Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc en primeur. An unoaked blend of mainly viognier and chardonnay, with an array of other white varieties adding complexity to the final blend, the wine has the capacity to age almost as long as the red.
Lastly, from the excellent 2023 vintage, we are offering the Guibert family’s pure and appetising ‘Atelier’, a blend of syrah, cinsault and carignan. This comes from a cool, north-facing vineyard and was aged in amphorae and large oak foudres for ten months. A lovely cousin to the Daumas Gassac wines.

If you'd like to learn more about the wines, and the 2024 and 2025 vintages, here's a webinar that we conducted earlier this month with Daumas Gassac’s owner and winemaker, Samuel Guibert. We specifically discuss the 2025 white, the en primeur offer and bottling from 35m30s until around 43m30.
