Producer’s Background:

Moulin de Gassac is part of the broader Mas de Daumas Gassac family estate founded by Aimé Guibert in the Hérault during the 1970s, a project that helped redefine the potential of Languedoc wines. While Mas de Daumas Gassac became internationally known for its estate wines, the Moulin de Gassac range was developed by the Guibert family to showcase the wider vineyards of the region through accessible, carefully crafted bottlings. Working with long-standing grower partners across the Hérault, the family applies the same attention to vineyard sourcing and clean winemaking that characterizes their flagship estate, allowing the Guilhem wines to express the bright Mediterranean character of southern France while remaining faithful to the Guibert family’s pioneering spirit in the region.

Serving Suggestions:

Its bright citrus profile and lively acidity pair beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, salads, goat cheese, and Mediterranean dishes with olive oil and herbs. The wine is best enjoyed in its youth while its vibrant fruit and crisp structure are at their most expressive.
