Mas De Daumas Gassac Blanc Vin De Pays, 1996

Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc 1996 is a rare and highly sought-after white from one of the Languedoc’s most iconic estates. Known for its Burgundy-like complexity and remarkable ageing ability, it stands as a benchmark for serious white wine from southern France.

Tasting Notes
With bottle age, the wine is expected to show a deep golden hue and a layered, evolving bouquet of dried citrus peel, quince, honey, toasted nuts, chamomile, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc is typically textured and vibrant, balancing richness with freshness, and often developing remarkable tertiary complexity over time. The finish is likely long, refined, and gently oxidative in style, with enough structure to remain compelling many years after release. Well-stored bottles from this vintage can offer exceptional drinking, with the best examples rewarding careful cellaring and thoughtful opening.

Production
Produced in the terroir-rich hills of the Languedoc, Mas de Daumas Gassac benefits from limestone and alluvial soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work and low-yield farming, with fruit harvested carefully to maintain quality. Vinification is traditionally handled with a focus on preserving complexity and character rather than excessive intervention.

Food & Serving
This mature white pairs beautifully with roast poultry, lobster, monkfish, creamy sauces, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting briefly if the bottle shows significant age or reduction to allow the aromas to open fully.
