2001 Mas de Gouronnier

[Kcwhippet]

The Mas de Daumas Gassac must be a very interesting wine. I haven't had one yet, but there's a debate going on in the shop about whether we should carry it. The pros say it's a wonderful Languedoc wine that tastes very much like a Lafite or a Latour. The cons say yes, BUT it tastes great for maybe 3 or 4 years then it closes down for another 6 to 10 years before it shines again. Who's going to buy that in these times of instant gratification. If we get it, I'll try it, otherwise not. Anyway, the mix of grapes is really weird. It's usually about 80% Cab Sauv with - are you ready for this - Malbec, Merlot, Cab Franc, Syrah, Tannat, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Grenache, Tempranillo, Voskihat, Kontorni, Salte, and a few Georgian grapes.

BTW, you left a "g" out of the first wine's name - it's Mas de Gourgonnier. Could be why you couldn't find it.
