Mas de Daumas Gassac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

[Back label says 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, and then (in a burst of French mathematical genius), the remaining 30% (hey, that’s what the label actually says), Malbec, Merlot, Syra (their spelling), Canernet Franc, Pinot (unspecified which Pinot??), and Tannat] OK, not trying to goof on the winery or the importer (uh, KLWM!?!?), but weird math and unclear varietal composition is kinda just odd, at best, or just weird?!?!?’ Production was 75,000 bouteilles, 1,400 magnums, 100 jeroboams, and 25 mathusalems (their spelling, not mine)??!!
OK, first whiff, I could honestly care less what the actual grape cepage is, tons of garrigue, but at age 40 still quite fresh, most of the tannic structure has faded away, but this shows those awesome tertiary notes, along with clear bottle sweetness, which makes these older bottles so amazing and, frankly, compelling to drink!! Great southern French wine from the Pays de l’Herault, super long finish, WOW!!!

Wowza! Used to stock this in the store I managed in NYC. It was quite affordable back then.

@Tom Casagrande, I also have a 1989, 1990 and 1995 stood up, I used to buy these from KLWM back in the day (IIRC, they were sold as “6-pack cases”), I think starting with the 1982 through 1998 (or 1995). These wines are immortal from an aging perspective, so will start drinking them on and off.

This is the Mas de Daumas Gassac White Blend. Delectable needs to merge this database as there are multiple names for the same wines. Used to work for Delectable in the early days and spent a lot of hours merging multiple entries for the same wine.
Very interesting white blend: Viognier, Chardonnay, Chenin and multiple other white varietals.As expected, it had weight and body. A little like Condrieu meets White Chateneuf. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Plutôt austère, assez marqué par les arômes végétaux et de cuir. Fruit un peu en retrait. — 6 years ago

Rosé Frizant Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Trying the Mas de Daumas Gassac lineup. Aside from their flagship Languedoc red this might be my fav. It’s rose sparkling with incredibly bright strawberry notes and deep acidity. Light lees flavour. The hefty body and full mousse really make it stand out. Wow. — 8 months ago

Vin de Pays de l'Hérault White Blend 2021

Great as always. A seductive perfume of white lily and jasmine flowers waft from the glass, and there is exquisite balance on the palate, with a bit of Viognier/Chenin “gras” paired with wet rocks, a refreshing tartness and almost phenolic spice on the finish. — 4 years ago

Quite lovely! Not as good as the Daumas Gassac last night, but very strong showing.

Refined nose of tar and earth. Cherry fruit combined with leather and just a hint of spice on the palate. Medium plus finish. Very good value at the price point.

Will be trying to acquire some!

Reserve de Gassac Sélection Guibert Vin de Pays de l'Hérault White Blend 2020

Tempting pear, orange and tarragon aromas. Evocative of walking past drying hay on a warm day. Rich almond and pear in the mouth, enough acidity and a lingering finish. I'm matching it with some trout which should work. — 5 years ago
