Mas de Daumas Gassac Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert Blanc 2024
92 points VM
Macerated for roughly three days and aged for four months in stainless steel, the 2024 Blanc unwinds with ripe apricot, white peach, yellow apple and a subtle flinty touch. Round and concentrated, the 2024 races across the medium- to full-bodied palate, accompanied by a firm line of zesty acidity that keeps everything in check. It finishes with persistence on the complex finale.

– 29% Chardonnay (origin of the vine: Comtes Lafon).
– 13% Petit Manseng (origin of the vine: Charles Hours – Béarn).
