Moulin de Gassac Classic Rouge comes from the Guibert family, pioneers of the Languedoc’s modern revival. When they founded Mas de Daumas Gassac in the 1970s, they set out to prove that the wild, limestone‑rich hills around Aniane could produce wines of real character. The “Moulin” range was created later as a way to work with long‑standing grower partners across the Hérault, applying the same hands‑on approach to vineyard selection and gentle winemaking. The fruit is sourced from cooler, well‑exposed parcels that retain freshness, and the blend typically brings together Carignan, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre in a style that reflects the region’s Mediterranean roots without heaviness. The wine is bright and supple, with red and black berry fruit, a touch of garrigue herb, and a faint savoury edge from the Carignan. The palate is medium‑bodied and smooth, with enough structure to keep it lively and a clean, lightly spiced finish. It’s an easy wine to pour by the glass, but it still carries the Guibert family’s hallmark of balance and authenticity.
