Subtle on the nose, with intense aromas of red and black fruits, spices and flowers, Reserva Especial N°11 is refined on the palate, with vibrant fruit, caressing tannins and notes of faded rose. This cuvée is inspired by the Spanish tradition of blending different harvests to create the wine most representative of the estate. Limited quantities only!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2024) 95/100 (N°10)
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Roast and acidity are the hallmarks of the great Reserva Especial n°10, a blend of 2020, 2019, 2018, with a touch of 2017 and 2016. Only 2,000 bottles of this little gem have been produced. A wine that is both dense and poised, with fine tannins and great vivacity. The magic of Roc d'Anglade is back!
About the domain :
Rémy Pédréno and his wife Martine have been running this 9-hectare estate on the historic Langlade terroir since 1999. Having previously worked in the northern Rhône region, notably for Domaine Rostaing, this passionate winemaker from Nîmes quickly established himself among the region's greats, producing elegant, taut, airy wines from this marl-limestone terroir that has been renowned for centuries. Aging in tuns and a more precise management of the lees have taken this estate to a new level, and it is now an undisputed benchmark. Jeremy Stevenson joins Martine and Rémy from New Zealand, Alsace, Chile and Oregon.
