Which wine with no appellation is being considered by the experts and wine connaisseurs as \'The only Grand Cru of the Midi\' (H. Johnson), \'A Lafite in Languedoc\' (Gault & Millau), \'One of the ten best wines in the world\' (M. Broadbent), or simply \'Exceptional\' (R. Parker)? Within 40 years, the Mas de Daumas Gassac wines have reached the rare status of \'cult wine\' that is only given to a limited number of exceptional estates in the world. The estate had been farmed in the traditional way for thousands of years before the Guibert family established the Grand Crus vineyard of the Gassac valley. Divided into 63 small vineyard plots among 3,000 hectares of protected forest cultivated without any chemical or pesticide, Mas de Daumas Gassac remains a virgin land farmed with total respect for mother Nature. With the specific soil of the Gassac valley, a very cool micro climate, more than 40 different grape varieties and wine making inspired by the great Emile Peynaud, Mas de Daumas Gassac wines are incomparable to any other and have established a style of their own.
