In 1971 Véronique Guibert de la Vaissière and her husband Aimé, a tanner and glove manufacturer in Millau, fell in love with an old abandoned farmhouse in the unspoilt rural setting of the Gassac Valley near the ancient abbey of Aniane. 

On the recommendation of their friend, Professor Henri Enjalbert (a geologist specialising in soils and grapes) they planted 17,000 non-cloned Cabernet Sauvignon vines sourced from top Bordeaux properties. 

With further assistance and winemaking advice from oenologist Emile Peynaud (a consultant to Châteaux Margaux, Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion and La Lagune) the domaine bottled the the 1978 vintage in 1980 and immediately sold half en primeur to friends, family and local restaurants.

By 1982 some were hailing the winery as Languedoc’s Château Lafite and Mas de Daumas Gassac has not looked back since.

We are very lucky to have owner and winemaker Samuel Guibert, one of Véronique and Aimé Guibert’s five sons who now manage the property, in person to present some of the stunning wines that the winery has become so famous for. These are wines of elegance and freshness that speak of their terroir.
