Tasting notes
'This is a Daumas Gassac with fine tannins and tremendous ageing potential. It is currently still maturing in our one to six years old Burgundy barrels, adding further complexity to this very harmonious vintage. This “élevage” should last another 9 to 11 months, with at least two rackings to naturally refine the wine. At this stage, red fruit and Cabernet Sauvignon are the first aromas on the nose, followed by very fine cocoa and roasted scents, mainly from the ageing process. On the palate, the 2020 is characterized by the subtlety of its flavours, with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, mocha, and a hint of vanilla; it is well structured and yet also very refined. The finish is long, and the tannins are silky, with lots of power and so much finesse. A vintage to discover, an enchanting wine made of velvet and silk!' - Mas de Daumas Gassac
