Pont de Gassac is the everyday range from the Guibert family, producers of the legendary Mas de Daumas Gassac. Made from vineyards in the Languedoc using the same quality-focused approach as their flagship wines but designed for immediate drinking rather than aging. This red typically blends Mediterranean varieties including Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2022 vintage is recent, offering fresh fruit with good structure.
Red cherry, blackberry and plum with garrigue herbs and subtle spice. Medium bodied with smooth tannins and bright acidity. Fruit-forward and easy-going with that warm southern character balanced by freshness. There's enough structure to handle food but it remains approachable and drinkable. Clean, satisfying finish.
Serve slightly cool (14-16°C). Pairs well with grilled meats, ratatouille, herb-roasted chicken, or Mediterranean dishes. Also works nicely on its own as an easy-drinking red. Enjoy within 3-4 years while the fruit is fresh.

In 1971, Véronique and Aimé Guibert bought a “Mas” (farmhouse) and abandoned mill in the heart of a beautiful, wild valley through which flowed the Gassac river. After consulting Prof. Henri Enjalbert they planted vines in clearings in the middle of 4,000 hectares of forest - he was convinced they had the "terroir" to produce a Grand Cru of the future. The first vintage of their flagship red was produced in 1978 from roughly 80% Cabernet Sauvignon. By 1982, a respected French wine guide described Mas de Daumas Gassac as the “Château Lafite of the Languedoc”. The Rose Frizant was created in 1981, also from the younger Cabernet vines.
Today, the children of the Guibert family manage the estate, storing their harvests in an old cellar underneath the original mill. The five brothers have continued to fine tune the Mas de Daumas Gassac's Grand Vin and broaden the range with varietal wines and blends that offer great value for money under their Moulin de Gassac label.
