The year is mainly marked by a severe drought with -30% water compared to the average. Looking back, we experienced a dry autumn, a slightly cold winter, light regular rains throughout the spring, ending with a very driest summer with only 20mm of water in July and August!
Thanks to the micro-climate and the care given to the vines by our teams, the berries benefited from slow and healthy ripening, despite the drought and, above all, the heatwave that occurred the day before the harvest.
Skin maceration for 2 to 3 days, fermentation in stainless steel vat
The 2023 harvest historically short !
Intense 46th harvest of the Great Wines! A harvest at a steady pace from Monday August 28 to September 14.
The year is mainly marked by a severe drought with -30% water compared to the average.

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.
To be drunk young (in the first 18 months) to appreciate its magnificent minerality and very complex fruit aromas. Alternatively, to be kept at least from 4 to 12 years to discover a very rich wine with notes of honey and crystallized fruits.
Delicious by itself as an aperitif or with oysters, foie gras or any grilled fish.
A truly unique experience!
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.
