Mas de Daumas Gassac

Emile Peynaud 2008

Mas de Daumas Gassac wines owe their very being to Professor Emile Peynaud! So it’s only right that our greatest wine should be named in his honour! It’s a tribute to the man who taught us everything, the man who unveiled the art of creating a wine in the image of the great terroir that is the Gassac Valley

HARVEST

It’s common knowledge among all wine producers ! Each ten years there’s a “great harvest” ; one that produces not just superb quality grapes, but result in an exceptional vintage ! Oddly enough, at Daumas Gassac, our ten year ‘greats’ were in 1978, 1988, 1998. Now we’ve had a wonderful surprise !
The ten year cycle has come round again in 2008. The 2008 White has incredible finesse, hugely rich aromas.
Half way through the harvest, the 2008 Red already looks outstanding : elegant, opulent, fleshy, full bodied … definitely one to lay down.

TASTING HINTS

Serve between 17° and 18°C.
Need to be decanted a long time in advance (at least 3 to 4 hours) before serving.
