Created in the early 1990s by Aimé Guibert, founder of Mas de Daumas Gassac, the Moulin de Gassac wines were created for two reasons: • Preserve land parcels that fully reflect the character of the exceptional Languedoc terroir. • Offer fine, generous and exceptional value wines with a subtle blend of Mediterranean and Bordeaux grape varieties. ‘Every day’ wines that spring from the same search for excellence that applies to the great Daumas Gassac vintages.
