Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert is a small IGP zone in the hills of the Languedoc, in southern France. It sits around a medieval village on the edge of the garrigue, where vineyards climb cooler slopes above the plain. WineFortune tracks one wine here, from one producer: Mas de Daumas Gassac.
The tracked wine is a still red sold under the IGP designation. The area is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends grown on stony, free-draining hillside soils, in a Mediterranean climate tempered by altitude and cool night air. The result is a firm, age-worthy style that stands apart from the broader Languedoc.
