No wine related trip to the Languedoc is complete without a visit to Mas de Daumas Gassac. This now famed property was stumbled upon by Véronique and Aimé Guibert in 1970 while house hunting. A visit from Professor Enjalbert in 1971 and his pronouncement that this property could create a Grand Cru launched the planting of Cabernet Sauvignon the following year. Renowned Bordeaux consultant Emile Peynaud began advising in year one of vinification and by 1982 Gault et Millau proclaimed Mas Daumas Gassac the Château Lafite of the Languedoc. What is amazing here is how the brand is the feature and not the appellation. The wines are bottled as Vin de Pays de l’Herault and yet command some of the highest prices enjoyed by any wine from the Languedoc. The owners have never looked back.
