Product notes
2018 is one of those vintages that only comes around every 10 years. Its complex personality was marked by some of the most atypical weather conditions - with rainfalls between January and May equal to the whole of 2017, Daumas Gassac’s fifty-year-old vineyard was able to benefit from a magnificent dry, hot summer, and produce a perfectly ripe crop.
Production notes
The 2018 harvests are the longest in the past ten years - a manual and selective harvest from 63 plots, spread over time, in order to get the best out of each fruit. Classic Médoc vinification, long fermentation and maceration (20 days) - no filtration. Aging 12 to 15 months in oak barrels (barrels aged 1 to 7 years).
Tasting notes
The Mas de Daumas Gassac marks by its finesse and elegance. The color is purple and tinged with purple notes. The nose is marked by red fruits, mocha, ripe blackcurrant. On the palate it is the freshness and finesse of the tannins that impress. All with great length and persistence at the end of the palate. Goes wonderfully with red meats, game (especially wild boar) and cheeses.
