Christmas Offer

A VINTAGE THAT COMBINES FINESSE AND ELEGANCE!

Noble red wine made essentially from 84% uncloned Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Pinot Noir, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Tannat, Cabernet Franc and 3% rare varieties

Thanks to Mother Nature, the loss due to the frost led to an extraordinary concentration in the fruit. Each vine managed to produce remarkable aromas and flavours in the few remaining berries! The birth of a great vintage!"

TASTING HINTS

  • To be served around 18-19°C (64°F).
  • Need to be decanted a long time in advance (at least 3 to 4 hours before serving)
  • Better still, decant the wine which will help bring out its complexity. But, do replace the stopper.

HINTS FOR LAYING DOWN

  • If your cellar is cool (12-16° C) you can lay down your Daumas Gassac for several years.
  • Equally, if your cellar is not cool enough and you fear the wine may not age well, you’ll thoroughly enjoy your Daumas Gassac while it’s young, say 2, 3 – up to 5 - years after bottling.
