 "The inspiration for the many high-quality winemakers now spread throughout the Languedoc" (Wine Behind the Label)

Daumas Gassac, the estate of the Guibert de la Vaissière family, is generally regarded as the Languedoc's greatest wine, perhaps the only truly world-class wine the region has to offer even now if the above comments are anything to go by.

In addition to the grand vin, the family oversees a negoçiant operation in the valley, producing a range of wines under the Moulin de Gassac label. These are generally good, straightforward expressions of the varietals and blends used and represent very good value.

This delicious white wine is from their 'entry-level' range and is incredibly good value! Made from 30% Sauvignon Blanc with 30% Clairette and 40% Grenache Blanc. The wine has a fresh lively Sauvignon feel with lovely texture and a crunchy orchard fruit character. This is a great wine to have as a pre-dinner drink to whet the appetite.  Very dry crisp white wine loaded with fruit and a touch of minerality.  Delicious with fowl and seafood, great on a picnic, spicy dishes and salads with goat cheese.

$9.99 per bottle or $101.90/case ($8.49)
