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!" - Aimé Guibert.

This is the fifth and most accomplished vintage yet of rich, great value Réserve de Gassac red. The superb 2006 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.
