Mas de Daumas Gassac Wine Maker Dinner
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 6:00 p.m.
"One of the ten best wines in the world," proclaims Michael Broadbent. "The only Grand Cru of the Languedoc," declares Hugh Johnson. "Exceptional and the most remarkable non-appellation wine of France," decries Robert Parker Jr. Within 30 years, the Mas de Daumas Gassac wines have reached "cult status," which is only given to a few exceptional estates. The soil of Mas de Daumas Gassac was rediscovered in 1971 by Henri Enjalbert, Professor of Geology at Bordeaux University. Enjalbert considered the Gassac Valley to be an "ideal and unique terroir to produce a Grand Cru wine," specifically due to the exceptional soils and the very cool microclimate, which allow more than forty different grape varieties to thrive. Their precise winemaking and ageing techniques are inspired by the great Bordeaux estates. The wines from Daumas Gassac are incomparable to any other.
Please join us as Samuel Guibert presents a selection of his wines paired with an exclusive five-course tasting menu prepared by chef Mark Sullivan.
