Chateau d'Agel

The Château d'Agel is located in the Minervois wine appellation, in the south of France, lying at the foot of the Black Mountain.

Agel vineyards benefit from a temperate Mediterranean climate with a mild winter and a warm, dry summer, making it ideal for grape growing. The 26 hectare vineyard is split into two distinct parts. One is planted near the riverside on terraced, pebble-covered soil, and the other is located high up on the Causse de Cazelle, where the ground is mostly made up of chalk stones.

A variety of white and red grapes are grown: Maccabeu, Roussanne, Vermentino, White Grenache, Muscat, Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault.
