About Moulin de Gassac

Moulin de Gassac is the second label of the iconic Mas de Daumas Gassac estate, known for pioneering high-quality winemaking in the Languedoc. Created to showcase the region’s character with accessible wines made sustainably, the Réserve range combines thoughtful farming, local varieties, and a Mediterranean spirit in every bottle.

About Pays d’Oc

Pays d’Oc is an IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) that covers much of the Languedoc region. It allows winemakers freedom to experiment with grape varieties and blends while still focusing on quality. The result is expressive wines with sun-kissed fruit and freshness, often at great value, especially when it comes to rosé.

How to pair it

An easy match for summer salads, grilled fish, veggie skewers, or charcuterie. It's also lovely with Provençal-style dishes, tomato-based pastas, or simply enjoyed chilled on its own on a sunny day. Casual, crisp, and versatile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Réserve" mean in wine?

“Réserve” can suggest higher quality or extra ageing, but in France (outside of regions like Rioja or Italy), it’s not a regulated term. It usually means the producer considers it a special or more refined bottling, but it doesn’t guarantee a specific winemaking process.

Is Grenache rosé sweet or dry?

Most Grenache rosé is dry, especially those made in France. Grenache gives lovely ripe strawberry and red fruit notes, but producers in regions like Languedoc or Provence craft it in a clean, crisp, dry style with fresh acidity.

How do you pick a good rosé wine?

Look for the region (Provence, Languedoc, or Rioja are great bets for dry, elegant styles), check the colour (paler rosés are often drier), and choose recent vintages for freshness. If in doubt, ask your local wine shop for something food-friendly and dry, they’ll likely point you in the right direction.

What does rosé wine pair with?

Rosé is super versatile! It pairs well with summer salads, grilled fish, mezze, light pasta dishes, and picnic spreads. Dry rosés with good acidity also shine next to salty snacks like olives or charcuterie, and fresh, herby Mediterranean flavours.

Is Languedoc a good wine?

Yes, Languedoc wines offer excellent quality and great value. The region has a warm, sunny climate and a growing community of independent winemakers producing everything from crisp whites and fresh rosés to bold reds, many of them organic or low-intervention.
