The 2024 vintage has been marked by fine rainfall during the spring, spaced out over time to provide an ideal feed to the vines. This year was marked by a hot but not scorching summer in the Gassac region. The rain in August and the 105mm in September brought superb ripeness, resulting in a very heterogeneous vintage between the start and the end of the harvest.
Skin maceration for 2 to 3 days, fermentation in stainless steel vat
The 2024 harvest, a singular vintage! This forty-seventh harvest brought together 55 pickers from 15 different nationalities. It began on Wednesday 28th August (the same start date as last year’s) and ended on Friday 21st September.
Best if served between 11°C and 12°C.
Open the bottle an hour before serving, but always replace the cork. Decanting encourages wines to express their full complexity but, always replace the stopper.

The two lives of Mas de Daumas Gassac White Wine
Laid down in a cool cellar (14°-16°C, 57-60°F) even the oldest can happily wait with no problem for many years. However, being laid down in warmer temperatures will speed up the wines’ maturity.
First life
To taste within the first three years if you appreciate wonderful fruity flavours.
Drink our white wines as an aperitif or with a meal. They drink beautifully with most dishes.
Second life
Quite a different wine from the third or fourth year! Its youthful fruitiness will have disappeared, to be replaced by new flavours reminiscent of “sherry” or old “Sauternes”, a touch “oxidative” with great finesse.
Take care: if you are not looking for this type of wine, slightly paradoxical as it ages, drink our white wines within the first couple of years.
