About Clos d'Agon

A family name for more than 30 years

El Mas Gil

The history of Clos d’Agon revolves around the main farmhouse of the estate, Mas Gil, which gives its name to the entire property.

There are written records confirming the existence of vineyards on this estate as early as the 15th century in what was Mas Sabater. In 1334 is already registed the current farmhouse, today called Mas Gil, which in ancient times was surrounded by 12 hectares of vineyards, planted with hybrid varieties, narrow planting frames and vase conduits.

It was at the end of the 80’s of the last century when the modern stage of our winery began.

The vineyard

The history of Clos d’Agon revolves around the main farmhouse of the estate, Mas Gil, which gives its name to the entire property.

There are written records confirming the existence of vineyards on this estate as early as the 15th century in what was Mas Sabater.

Geography
The vineyard is located at the source of "Les Gavarres", surrounded by the mountains of this natural area, which form a kind of amphitheatre facing the sea.
Climate
It has a Mediterranean climate influenced by the Tramontana (here already attenuated) and the breezes coming from the Mediterranean, which can be seen from all the plots.
Soil
The vines grow on clay and slate soils with a mainly north-south orientation. The altitude of the plots varies between 40 and 140 metres.
Grapes
The red varieties used are Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot and the white varieties Viognier, Marsanne and Roussane. We have recently converted some plots of land to plant red, white and grey Garnacha.
Tasting
Our wines are fresh, fine and elegant with a great capacity for ageing.
Elaboration
We try to preserve the quality that the grapes bring from the field and express the particularities of each vintage. We pay special attention to cleanliness in all processes.
