Mas de Daumas Gassac 2001 Cuvee Emile Peynaud Red (Vin de Pays de L'Herault)
- $123
A limited production (2,500 bottles) wine, named after the great Bordeaux enology professor who was in at the birth of the Mas de Daumas Gassac estate. Pure Cabernet Sauvignon, this bursts with ripe fruit, with new wood flavors and with great intensity from the low-yielding old vines. This promises great things, but it also needs patience - wait at least 10 years.

A big wine, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, explosive with deep, dark flavors, brooding and intense. This special selection of the best wines from Mas de Daumas Gassac has black fruit, great richness and opulence, a powerhouse of wild flavors. But there’s also an underlying structure that means it will age, and age well.

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2002 Red (Vin de Pays de L'Herault)
- $50
The big wine, the grand vin from Daumas Gassac is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with more typical Languedoc varietals. It shows structure and impressive elegance to go along with its power. Flavors of dark plums and black fruits go along with the layer of wood. Considerng the poor vintage, this doesn't miss a moment of richness. Ideally age for 10 years or more…

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2006 White (Vin de Pays de la Haute Vallée du Gassac)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
White currants and yellow fruit aromas are followed by a rich, exotic display of flavors, stone fruits, green herbs, apricot skins and a touch of wood. This is a complex wine, certainly young now, a wine that demands attention as well as aging.

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2004 Red (Vin de Pays de L'Herault)
- $38
When Aimé Guibert set up the Mas de Daumas Gassac vineyard, he aimed to show it was possible to make top-quality wines in the Languedoc region of France. He succeeded, and continues to succeed, as this 2004 vintage estate wine shows. It is packed with generous, ripe, very dark, dense fruit, herbs and an almost intangible layer of wood.

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2005 Red (Vin de Pays de la Haute Vallée du Gassac)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
The almost legendary wine of Gassac is in fact a deeply satisfying, rich but structured southern wine, with a fine balance between spice, red fruits and powerful tannins. There’s a raw edge of youth here, confirming that these wines always have considerable aging potential.

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2004 Réserve de Gassac Sélection Guibert White (Vin de Pays de L'Herault)
- $38
The legendary white of Daumas Gassac is a blend of Viognier, Petit Manseng and Chardonnay, with small quantities of grape varieties from Georgia, Armenia and Madeira. It’s fat and full-bodied, but manages to retain some fresh acidity. It’s definitely the play of flavors—thyme, green plums, some wood—that make it so fascinating. A wine that will age over the next…

Mas de Daumas Gassac 2003 White (Vin de Pays de L'Herault)
- $50
This southern classic is full of ripe fruit, but tempered with complexities of herbal flavors, citrus and ripe fruit hanging on a summer day. It is beautifully integrated, and should age over 10 years.
