The Grand Vin from the highly acclaimed Daumas Gassac estate costs around £30 but, thanks to our long partnership, Samuel Guibert has created for us a Grande Réserve edition – all the pedigree of the top wine, but at a much more affordable price.

A unique red combining southern French richness with the class of a Cru Classé claret, Réserve de Gassac is made exclusively for our customers at a very special price. The Daumas Gassac estate was founded by Aimé and Véronique Guibert, former glovemakers to royalty and friends of Bordeaux geography professor Henri Enjalbert. Visiting the property, Henri told them he was bowled over by the quality of the terroir – formed over thousands of years by slowly shifting glaciers. The soil is so well drained that the vine roots must grow deep down to find nourishment and moisture, promoting unique aromas and flavours in the grapes. A great alternative to their pricy Grand Vin, this rich, ripe red is superb with garlicky lamb or hearty casseroles.

"Smooth, ripe fruit with a herbal lift – a very affordable red from this unique Languedoc estate" Mark Hoddy
