The 2016 Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge is an opaque red-purple colour, with almost irresistible, youthful scents of musky rosebuds over sweet, crisp black fruits. Those aromas prove a faithful summary of what you’ll find on the palate: a lively cascade of fresh, pure, zesty fruit, hops, pink grapefruit and aromatic rosebud charm. There are some gathered tannins behind the fruits, but they're not a prominent part of this midweight wine’s architecture. This high-energy young red is perfumed, beguiling and graceful, endowed with singing charm. (Editor's note: Goedhuis price below is for six bottles in bond, released 'en primeur' in autumn 2017.) ...

Bottled just two weeks before my visit, the flagship red 2016 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert was showing very well. A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, with single-digit proportions of other varieties, it spent a year in barrel (about 15% new oak). It's an herb-tinged wine, with leafy cassis notes and some redder fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it shows typical Cabernet Sauvignon restraint and structure on the palate, accompanied by soft, dusty tannins. Give it a couple of years, but then it should drink well for over a decade.

A vivid and bright red with blackberry and blueberry aromas, as well as undertones of hot stones. Violets, too. Medium body, silky and refined tannins and beautiful intensity. A delicious finish. Bright and focused. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot, malbec and pinot noir — for the most part. Drink or hold.

A sleek but layered red, featuring ripe currant and raspberry notes woven together with mineral, herb, floral and licorice details. Tangy and muscular, with full tannins framing the spice, herb and earth notes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. Drink now through 2025. 12,500 cases made.
Winery
To be drunk in its youth (in the first 3 years) to enjoy its superb fruit aromas. Or to be open from the 5th year to 20th year to appreciate its amazing ageing potential. Perfect with complex dishes, red meat, game (especially venison and wild-boar) and cheeses.

Region: Languedoc Roussillon

The southern French region of Languedoc Roussillon is one of the most important wine regions on earth, being responsible for over a third of France's annual output – a vast quantity of wine which exceeds even the annual output of the United States. Despite the fact that Languedoc Roussillon produces such enormous quantities of wine, the quality of the region's output remains a priority for the wineries which operate there. Languedoc Roussillon takes great pride in the fact that could be considered one of the oldest wine regions in the world, with a history which stretches back thousands of years to the ancient Greeks, and remains highly important to this day. Vintners in Languedoc Roussillon work with a wide range of grape varietals, and the region produces a wide variety of wines, from still red and white table wines, to blended and aged wines, dessert and sparkling wines.
