2024 Moulin de Gassac Pinot Noir

100% organic Pinot Noir from the terroir of Cournonterral in the Herault valley, just a few miles from the Mediterranean sea. Here they are able to produce a fine, elegant medium bodied Pinot Noir with perfect balance (only 12.5% alc) at the perfect price. Aged simply in stainless steel. 

The classic Pinot nose of bright candied cherries and hints of roasted fruit and mocha lead into a fresh mouthwatering wine with soft tannins and a persistent finish. This wine will keep you coming back for more. Pair with smoked meats, salmon, or chill slightly and drink by itself. 

Several years back, the folks at Mas de Daumas Gassac began working with a neighboring cooperative in Sête to produce fun, full flavored wines from the surrounding countryside and rocky hillsides. The goal is to produce wines grown under the strict vineyard & winemaking regimens employed at this unique domaine. Organic farming is de rigueur and the vinification is closely overseen by the Guibert family. The results are splendidly aromatic wines that bring out the terroir of the this Mediterranean region. The wines are named after St. Guihelm, the patron saint of the area where the village of St. Guihelm le Desert, one of the most stunningly beautiful villages in Europe, draws people from all over the world. Often referred to as the Grand Cru of the Midi (South of France), the Mas de Daumas Gassac top-tier wines have reached international cult status. Aimé Guibert,along with his wife Véronique, purchased the property in 1974, and began planting grapes. There are 40 different grape varieties planted on the property, from rare and uncloned vines from far flung places, including Israel, Portugal, Switzerland, Armenia, Madeira, etc. While many would see this as an extreme and crazy endeavor, this diversity led to unorthodox blends and truly singular wines.
