Mas de Daumas GassacLa
Garrigue is delighted to present an outstanding and unique range of Mas de Daumas Gassac.
Founded in 1971 by the Guibert family under the guidance of Emile Peynaud, it has been
described by the eminent wine writer Hugh Johnson as the “only Grand Cru of the
Midi”, and by the venerable Robert Parker as “exceptional”.
From Samuel Guibert, winemaker at Daumas Gassac:
Dear friends of La Garrigue
At Mas de Daumas Gassac, the Garrigue surrounds the estate, the vineyards and even our
home. It is where you find what epitomises the best of our region - wild boars, aromatic
herbs such as thyme, rosemary, lavender, sage, pine trees and the very typical
Mediterranean oak, and of course a few vines!
The Guibert family has always had a very strong attachment to the Garrigue forrest and
meeting Jean-Michel Gauffre in Edinburgh a few years ago was like finding a little bit of
our Mediterranean land with some Scottish flavours !
How could we then not have immediately engaged a very strong and friendly relationship
with La Garrigue restaurant, such a fantastic ambassador for our beautiful region and its
products?
Today, we are very proud to have the opportunity to bring you some of the very special
tastes and wonderful scents of the Languedoc region through Jean-Michel's cuisine matched
with some extremely rare Mas de Daumas Gassac vintages wines. We hope you enjoy your
Mediterranean experience and we look forward to welcoming you very soon in our
"magic" Gassac valley....
