Description of wine 🍷
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.
Assemblage : 50 % Grenache - 40% mourvèvre + carignan - 10 % syrah
Vinification : tri des raisins grappe par grappe - éraflage - Trois semaines de macération. Seul le jus de goutte est utilisé.
Elevage : 10 mois en barriques de 500 litres usagées. 
Dégustation : Une belle dominance de grenache pour une énorme trame et fine. Un millésime plus frais, plus aérien. Gros potentiel de garde, n'hésitez à en mettre quelques bouteilles de côté !

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.
