Classic Blanc 2023, Moulin de Gassac

Moulin de Gassac Classic Blanc is a refreshing white wine from the Languedoc region, crafted by the renowned Domaine de Gassac. Known for producing wines that express the essence of their terroir, this wine combines the best of both local and international grape varieties, offering a perfect balance of freshness and fruitiness.

On the nose, this wine delivers crisp aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, alongside hints of green apple and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it’s light and vibrant, with lively acidity that enhances the wine’s clean, refreshing finish. The fruit-forward flavours, combined with a touch of minerality, make this a versatile and enjoyable white that pairs well with a wide range of dishes.

The Maker:

Moulin de Gassac is a perfect example of the Languedoc’s ability to produce wines of excellent quality at great value. The winery’s commitment to sustainable farming and respect for the land shines through in every bottle, offering a true taste of the region’s diverse terroir.

Moulin de Gassac’s ethos is of respect. Respect of the wild beauty of the upper Gassac Valley and to avoid destroying the garrigue forest. They have chosen to create small areas of vines that stand as clearings in the immense garrigue forest that dominates the landscape. In total more than 50 of these clearings, resulting in 50 hectares of vines among 1000 hectares of Mediterranean forest. Respect also for the complexity of the wines. The desire to respect the very essence of the terroir, to which their wines owe their identity. The extreme complexity of Mas de Daumas Gassac’s wines, enriched by the innumerable scents of the Mediterranean shrubs that surround the “vineyard-clearings” (bay, thyme, rosemary, lavender, arbutus, rock rose, fennel, wild mint, lentiscus, etc.) constitutes a subtle alchemy that they make it their duty to respect and honour. Respect for a natural, stable biotope. The huge garrigue forest that surrounds the Gassac Valley provides the right conditions for a variety of birds and insects in an ecosystem that functions perfectly, regulating, in the process, the numbers of predatory species. The task is thus to respect this subtle balance, which contributes to the complexity of the wines, without making the slightest concession to chemical fertilizers or synthetic substances. The only fertilizer that they use on their soil is a compost made from Larzac sheep manure…
