Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Moulin de Gassac

Mas de Daumas Gassac was founded in 1971 when Véronique Guibert de la Vaissière and her husband Aimé took over an abandoned mas in the Gassac valley, near the former abbey of Aniane. In 1972, on the advice of geologist Henri Enjalbert, they planted 17,000 ungrafted Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings sourced from Bordeaux properties. Oenologist Émile Peynaud advised on the first vinification in 1978.

Moulin de Gassac was created as the négociant arm of the estate, working with a neighboring cooperative in Sète and federating growers of the Gassac valley. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the vinification is overseen by the Guibert family.

For Guilhem Rouge, grapes are sourced from vineyards in the hills of Villeveyrac on Jurassic limestone slopes, arid and dry, rich in bauxite. Grapes are 100% destemmed, with all varieties co-macerated for 10 to 12 days between 26°C and 32°C, and fermented in stainless steel.

Wine region

Languedoc, France

The Pays de l'Hérault is a wine zone within the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France. It carries the European IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) designation, which replaced the Vin de Pays label in 2009.

The IGP Pays de l'Hérault groups 28 zone appellations within the broader Vin de Pays d'Oc denomination. Red and rosé grape varieties are typically Mediterranean, and wines from the Hérault account for roughly two-thirds of production under the regional appellation.
