L’Erba D’agram is the project of Mathias Guerrero Abras, based in the small village of Vendémian in the Hérault. Though the work behind the wines is complex, the bottles themselves speak of simplicity and honesty. They reflect Mathias as he is. These are wines you might open at a punk show and drink straight from the neck, or pass around a crowded table with friends and food. For Mathias, L’Erba D’agram exists as proof that there is still something real in the world.

He farms roughly five hectares of vines near a small river in the Hérault, where water, mud, and wild vegetation exist in constant tension. When he first took over the land, the vineyard had been abandoned and overtaken by growth. From this came the name L’Erba D’agram, meaning “bad weeds” in Occitan, the language of his region. Before beginning his own project, Mathias worked alongside Julie and Ivo at Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière, where he absorbed the sensibility that would later shape his own wines.
