Winery Review: Variously described as "Lafite in the Languedoc", "the only Grand Cru of the Midi" and "exceptional", Mas de Daumas Gassac has consistently been the Languedoc glod standard for the past four decades. The 80-hectare, organically farmed estate is located deep in the sultry Midi, but enjoys a temperate microclimate as a result of altitude, which gives the wines a lovely deftness of touch. Try with coconut fish curry, penne al pesto, seafood gratin or cheese souffle.

My Review: This wine had a very fruity and floral aroma. However upon tasting, the fruit did not come out too much and it had a dry and somewhat bitter finish. It actually had some herbal flavor instead of fruit flavor.

I did not have this wine with food.
