Le Mas d'Agalis se situe au nord-ouest de Montpellier, sur la commune de Nébian. Lionel Maurel y vinifie 6.5 ha de cépages rouges (carignan, grenache, syrah, mourvèdre) et 1.5 ha de blancs (terret bourret, vermentino, chenin, clairette). Deux cuvées de rouge, sublimes, et un blanc racé et minéral.
Passé entre les mains d’excellents vignerons, Thierry Allemand (Cornas) puis Didier Barral (Faugères), Lionel travaille ses sols et ses vignes naturellement : sols labourés, utilisation uniquement d’engrais organiques (fumiers), et quelques traitements à base de cuivre et de soufre en poudre. Ceci pour le plus grand respect de la nature, mais aussi pour que le terroir s’exprime d’une année sur l’autre et que l’on retrouve l’effet millésime dans ses vins.
Les vendanges sont manuelles dans des petites cagettes. Les raisins sont triés, éraflés ou non, selon l’année et les besoins, puis encuvés. La fermentation dure environ 15 jours puis s’en suit une cuvaison d’environ 10 jours pour harmoniser le fruit, les tanins, les arômes. Avant l’entonnage et si nécessaire, Lionel sulfite avec un maximum 2g/hl ou s’en passe. Enfin l’élevage dure de 12 à 18 mois dont une partie dans des barriques de 3 à 8 vins, et l’autre partie en cuve pour garder un peu plus de fruit et de la fraîcheur. Le tout sera assemblé par la suite.
Assemblage : 60% terret + 40% (vermentino - chenin - et clairette)
Vinification : 85 % cuve et 15 % barriques usagées
Elevage : 9 mois en cuve
Dégustation : Buvabilité alliant fraîcheur et puissance. Ce beau blanc est marqué par une complexité étonnante et drôlement addictive qui va encore s'affiner avec le temps. Hautement recommandé

One of the widest selections of the web of authors' wines and craftsmen
What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
