Produced with great care, the grapes (33% Syrah, 33% Grenache, 33% Carignan) are fermented with only indigenous yeasts and without the addition of any sulfur dioxide. Aging for 18 months in oak casks lends this blend a rich, ripe rusticity.

Lionel Maurel, a fourth generation winemaker, is the owner of this tiny domain, Mas D'Agalis, where he makes just two red wines based on four classic Languedoc grape varieties. With a focus on quality, all grapes are farmed organically, though he is not certified. Immense care is taken of his vines, with each parcel pruned differently.
These are serious wines made with extreme care by a young winemaker who is destined to become one of the stars of Languedoc.

The wine region of Languedoc is quite vast, encompassing much of the Mediterranean coastline of France, as well as reaching quite far inward. To the east, it abuts the southern Rhone and Provence regions, and the wines reflect that in their structured blends. To the west, the region divides further, with Bordeaux-influenced wines to the north, and Catalunian-influences to the south. This diversity (and relative cheapness of land) lends itself to a wine culture that is very playful. Lots of producers from other regions buy property here to experiment. In addition, there is an abundance of good, inexpensive wine that makes it to US shores from Languedoc, most with very "cheeky" names.
