Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 1971 by Aimé and Véronique Guibert, Moulin de Gassac is the extension of the legendary Mas de Daumas Gassac estate, nestled in the Gassac Valley of Languedoc. Now under the guidance of their sons, including winemaker Samuel Guibert, the domaine continues its legacy of organic viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. Drawing from a mosaic of glacial limestone and red soils, the estate has cultivated 40 grape varieties across diverse micro-parcels, creating wines that are both unique and reflective of their environment. Moulin de Gassac wines are made in partnership with a local cooperative in Sète, combining modern precision with deep respect for tradition.
