Winery review: "Variously described as 'Lafite in the Languedoc'(Gault and Millau), 'The only Grand Cru of the Midi' (Hugh Johnson) and 'exceptional' (Robert Parker), Mas de Daumas Gassac has consistently been the Languedoc gold standard for the past four decades. The 80 hectare, organically-farmed estate is located deep in the sultry Midi, but enjoys a temperate microclimate as a result of altitude, which gives the wines a lovely deftness of touch. Try with coconut fish curry, penne al pesto, seafood gratin or cheese soufflé."

My review: This is a lovely white wine. It's color was semi-gold. The bouquet was very appetizing with hints of apples, peach and floral notes. The taste complements the nose with a bitter semisweet fruit basket of flavor. There is certainly a malic acid factor here, and it tastes awesome!
