"He'll put everyone on the same page!"
Made from the estate's vines (no older than 40 years), this wine expresses all their youth. Fresh, mineral and charming, with a complex nose of spices and vanilla, and a straightforward, charming palate. Its straightforwardness makes it a perfect match for duck, and a wonderful accompaniment to stewed or baked meat!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2024) 91/100 (Vintage 2021)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Luminous. This is surely the adjective that best describes Le Roc des Anges, as much for the style of the wines as for Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet's modern, aesthetic winery. They created their estate from scratch, and today cover 45 hectares in production. The wines are highly drinkable, fairly low in alcohol for the region, where careful viticulture and an intelligent harvest date avoid any heaviness in the wines. Biodynamic viticulture explains some of this originality for the Roussillon, as does Montner's very special terroir: very fine schist that behaves like sand. This estate regularly produces some of the finest dry wines in the whole department.
