The Moulin de Gassac Rosé by Gassac appears a lively, vivid rose pink color in the glass with some salmon glints. The nose is pleasant, intense, and floral with notes of citruses. The palate is well balanced with freshness combining red currants and berries followed by a splendidly fresh and long finish: thoroughly “more-ish”.
A classy rosé! Perfect with grills, barbecues, salad and fruit desserts.
The historic Mas de Daumas Gassac was founded in 1974 by Aimé & Véronique Guibert. While the couple were keen on planting crops, they weren’t certain which crops would thrive until a soil scientist from the University of Bordeaux tested the glacial limestone soils (akin to those in the Cote d’Or) and convinced them to plant grapes. Today, winemaker Samuel Guibert and his four brothers each manage different aspects of the family business.
