Moulin de Gassac, Famille Guibert, Pinot Noir, Pays d’Oc, France

Mas de Daumas Gassac is an iconic producer in the south of France, famous across the world. Back in the 1970s the Guibert family fell in love with an old property in a beautiful Languedoc valley and, encouraged by a professor from Bordeaux University, had the courage and vision to develop vineyards and to focus on quality above all in their wines. They were pioneers in a region which at that time was pretty much just known for high volume and low cost.

This wine is from the Guibert family's "diffusion" range, a lower cost set of wines produced in the same spirit as the domaine wines but using grapes grown on vineyards across the region.

This wine is made for everyday drinking from Pinot Noir grown in cooler sites in the Languedoc - Pinot and heat tends to produce jammy, high alcohol wines lacking in subtlety. The wine is light and fruity, perfect with charcuterie, maybe some med-style chicken or some chargrilled veg. Drink while young.
