Harvest: Every two or three days in August and early September light showers were followed by great heat. A truly tropical climate but no real damage. In the north part of the Hérault, in the Larzac foothills, the weather was ideal, but along the coast there were dreadful damages with hail and violent rainstorms.
Classic Medoc vinification – long fermentation and maceration (20 days at least) in stainless steel tank – no filtration
At the end of August, the grass along the paths, the plants of the scrubland, like all the fruits of the garden, like the grapes from the vineyard, everything expressed intense flavors, states of glorious maturity.
The five lives of Mas de Daumas Gassac Red Wines 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.
Period of fruit
From the first autumn after bottling. A true basket of fruit, hints of what’s to come.
Period of youth
Crisp fruit and tannins to the fore. Lasts from three to seven years. A delicious and invigorating wine to drink. An absolute must.
Period of maturity
Velvety tannins appear, the fruit fades. This period lasts for seven to fourteen years. The wine reveals its true complexity.
Period of plenitude
Between fourteen and twenty-one years. The fruity flavours fade giving way to tertiary aromas with hints of dried roses, woodland moss, truffles, game!
Period of dreams
Over twenty-one years, most Mas de Daumas Gassac vintages will continue to evolve into magical flavours if laid down in a cool cellar with the right humidity. A treasure for grandchildren to discover in grandad’s cellar!
