THE FIVE LIVES OF MAS DE DAUMAS GASSAC RED WINES
The five lives of Mas de Daumas Gassac Red Wines Laid down in a cool cellar (14°-16°C, 57-60°F) even the oldest can happily wait with no problem for many years. However, being laid down in warmer temperatures will speed up the wines’ maturity.

• Period of fruit, from the first autumn after bottling. A true basket of fruit, hints of what’s to come.
• Period of youth, crisp fruit and tannins to the fore. Lasts from three to seven years. A delicious and invigorating wine to drink. An absolute must.
• Period of maturity, velvety tannins appear, the fruit fades. This period lasts for seven to fourteen years. The wine reveals its true complexity.
• Period of plenitude, between fourteen and twenty-one years. The fruity flavours fade giving way to tertiary aromas with hints of dried roses, woodland moss, truffles, game!
• Period of dreams, over twenty-one years, most Mas de Daumas Gassac vintages will continue to evolve into magical flavours if laid down in a cool cellar with the right humidity. A treasure for grandchildren to discover in grandad’s cellar!
