About Moulin de Gassac Pinot Noir

One of the wine films that has had the greatest impact on the industry is undoubtedly Jonathan Nossiter's “Mondovino”. This film was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, and essentially reflects the conflict between those who understand wine production as a basic artisan work that is completely connected to the land, and those who see it as a corporate business. One of the interviewees featured in the documentary is Aimé Guibert. Creator and champion of the renowned Mas Daumas Gassac, it is thanks to his obsession of giving absolute prominence to the vineyard that he manages to extol the quality of the wines of Languedoc, a region historically known for producing low quality table wines. So when Robert Mondavi, a wine magnate, became interested in this still under used region, Aimé fought with all his might until Mondavi withdrew from his venture. Now, it is his children who continue to protect this legacy with the same passion. A legacy based not so much on the category of the wine as on its quality. Although these wines only carry the vin de pays de l'Oc label, they are considered by great wine specialists to be the “Lafite Rothschilds” of Languedoc-Roussillon.

One of their wines, Moulin de Gassac Pinot Noir, is a single-variety Pinot Noir grown in a unique terroir of gravelly sandstone that is deep and well-drained. They use respectful agriculture with organic practices and preserving the natural balance of the terroir. The grapes are harvested by hand and once they reach the winery, they are selected and destemmed for traditional vinification. Maceration lasts about 3 weeks and fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine then remains on the lees in these same tanks for 6 months before bottling.

Daumas Gassac has become the leading winery in the Héraut area and with wines like this Moulin de Gassac Pinot Noir, they prove that their commitment to terroir exploration and modern winemaking techniques is a triumph. An authentic avant-garde wine from Languedoc that is also exceptional value for money.
