Cuvée Émile Peynaud

Mas de Daumas Gassac wines owe their very being to Professor Emile Peynaud! So it’s only right that our greatest wine should be named in his honour! It’s a tribute to the man who taught us everything, the man who unveiled the art of creating a wine in the image of the great terroir that is the Gassac Valley.
