Estate History
Located in the rugged landscapes of Roussillon, **Domaine de l’Agly** focuses on crafting wines that highlight the character and richness of this sun-drenched region. The **”L’Entrée du Royaume”** comes from the historic village of Latour-de-France, known for its exceptional terroirs and old vines, delivering wines of depth, complexity, and Mediterranean warmth.
Terroir
The vines grow on schist and clay-limestone soils, benefiting from the warm, dry Mediterranean climate balanced by the cool Tramontane wind. This terroir allows for slow, optimal ripening of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, ensuring concentrated fruit and well-structured tannins.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet color. The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, garrigue herbs, black pepper, and hints of cocoa and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with silky tannins, balanced freshness, and a long, spicy, and mineral finish.
A rich and structured Roussillon red — powerful yet elegant, with great complexity and aging potential.
Pairing
Perfect with grilled lamb, duck breast, beef stew, or aged cheeses like Ossau-Iraty and Manchego.
