Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rouge 2023
The Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2023 is a wine that reminds you why this estate has long been called 'the Lafite of the Languedoc'. It’s a beautifully composed red, elegant yet full of southern warmth, crafted from a Bordeaux-inspired blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Syrah, Merlot, and a few Mediterranean surprises. The nose is rich with blackcurrant, wild herbs, and a touch of cedar, while the palate strikes that perfect balance between ripe fruit, freshness, and gentle spice. It’s layered, refined, and unmistakably Gassac; complex without being showy, structured yet inviting. Renowned for its Grands Vins, Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family-owned vineyard for over 40 years, proudly belonging to the Guibert family. Nestled in a wild and enchanting valley near the magnificent Romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, the estate spans 50 hectares of deep, well-drained soil, untouched by chemical fertilisers.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Les Chaliots', Maison Pierre Meurgey 2022
Our second vintage from Pierre, who divides his time between vineyards in Macon and the Cote d’Or, the latter being made in Chateau de Bligny, formerly the winemaking base of Jane Eyre. Pierre characterises 2022 has having “ ripeness and preserved freshness" . He suggests that despite the hot year the wines do not have the same concentration as 2020 - which were more forced because of the early harvest, and instead show a greater natural balance, being made from “ happy fruit ” as he puts it. He notes the wines have gained more body during élévage but retain a fresher style than normal solar vintages. Head Wine Guru Tom's notes are a little brief as an unexpected appointment to taste the Hospices de Beaune 2023 wines at the cuverie prior to this year’s auction cut across our appointment so we raced through these wines with almost indecent haste! We highly suggest you take your time to appreciate them more leisurely as there is plenty to enjoy here. "A stony lieu dit in the south of the commune beneath ‘Les Porrets’ 1er Cru. Whilst powerful Nuits structure defines the palate, a dried flower elegance on the nose lifts the wine. Sappy red and blue fruits and rich earth on the nose, lead to a compact, cedary palate, with tapenade and dried herb notes and a distinctly saline finish." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
