Description
The 2022 Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc has an enticing bouquet of almond blossom, pineapple paste, lemongrass, and orange, with notes of summer meadow flowers that hits you right away. The palate is equally evocative, with ripe citrus bursting through, accompanied by ripe mango and peach, leading to a beautifully long finish.

Aged for 4 months in stainless-steel tank.
Viognier dominates the nose, which is very rich and a bit reminiscent of the Château Grillet tasted yesterday. But with the spine of Petit Manseng. A very nice blend that’s already enjoyable. Lime and honey and blossom.

James Suckling 94/100
48% Viognier, 13% Chardonnay, 13% Manseng, 9% Chenin and 17% rare varieties.
An aromatic nose with white peaches, apricots, fresh thyme, rosemary, stones, dried mango and mild spices. It’s medium-bodied with such good volume on the palate. Harmonious with velvety texture. Creamy but fresh. Absolutely delightful.
