Réserve de Gassac 2005
Warming Reserve red from Mas de Daumas Gassac, the 'Lafite of the Languedoc'
Aimé Guibert's Mas de Daumas Gassac shot from obscurity 25 years ago to lead a quality revolution in southern France. His wines were hailed as 'a miracle' and experts debated whether his red was more like Lafite or Latour.
"Réserve de Gassac is made with the same pride and care as our Grand Vin. I'm proud to present these new vintages to Club Members" - Aimé Guibert.
This is the fourth and most accomplished vintage yet of rich, great value Réserve de Gassac red. The superb 2005 conditions have given this wine superb concentration and complexity (it actually impressed us even more than the mighty, expensive Grand Vin).
Aromas of blackberry and spice, bags of ripe blackfruit flavour, earthy richness and a lingering finish.
