Mas de Daumas Gassac put the Languedoc on the fine wine map in the 1970s with their wildly iconoclastic wines. Since then, their reds have been compared to First Growth Bordeaux, their whites to Grand Cru Burgundy — and both have been priced accordingly.

But even legendary estates want something easy to drink. Enter Gassac's Rosé Frizant, a sparkling rosé that’s all charm, no pretense, and still unmistakably Gassac.

They didn’t set out to make Champagne in the Languedoc—or Prosecco. Instead, they took what they had and created something entirely their own. Free-run Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre are fermented in closed tank (like Prosecco) to trap naturally occurring bubbles. But unlike Prosecco or Champagne, there’s no second fermentation. Just one clean, precise ferment; sort of like a dialed-in pét-nat made in a tank.

The result? A sparkler made for days when Prosecco isn't quite dry enough, Pet Nat isn't quite focused enough, and Champagne just isn't quite right. It has gentle fizz, bright fruit, and at just 12% alcohol, it's wildly refreshing.

Sure, it’s great with tuna tartare or salmon crudo. But honestly? It’s just as brilliant with a bag of chips. This is the kind of wine you pop without a second thought—and wish you had a second bottle of, already chilled.
