Tasting notes
Aroma
A mesmerizing, constantly evolving bouquet. It opens with vibrant notes of white peach, honeysuckle, and crushed rocks. As it warms in the glass, beautiful, savory hints of beeswax, yellow apple, and wild fennel begin to emerge.
Palate
Richly textured yet completely electric on the palate. It delivers a dense, mouth-coating core of orchard fruit and citrus zest, perfectly balanced by a massive streak of laser-focused, mouthwatering acidity. It finishes incredibly long and dry, leaving a savory, saline minerality that practically demands fresh seafood or a rich poultry dish.

In Detail
The legendary 2020 Blanc. A true cellar masterpiece.
Sourced from a brutally cold microclimate hidden within the sun-drenched South of France, the 2020 Blanc is the undisputed crown jewel of an estate universally hailed as the Languedoc's only true "Grand Cru."
Mas de Daumas Gassac was founded by the visionary Aimé Guibert, who discovered a unique pocket of deep, red glacial dirt in the Gassac valley. While the rest of the region bakes in the summer sun, this hidden valley acts as a natural refrigerator, allowing the grapes to ripen incredibly slowly and retain shocking acidity.
The 2020 Blanc is an absolute masterclass in blending. It combines classic varietals like Viognier, Chardonnay, Petit Manseng, and Chenin Blanc with a museum-like collection of ancient, rare grapes sourced from across Europe. To preserve its piercing freshness and electric, stony terroir, the wine is fermented purely in stainless steel. The result is a wine of monumental texture and tension. If you want a world-class white wine that drinks beautifully today but will effortlessly evolve over the next two decades, this is an essential addition to your cellar.
