"Carignan 1903 will easily shed a hint of rusticity in favor of its juicy sap at the end of ageing". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF) A loose cuvée with a full-bodied structure resting on aromas of ripe fruit and spice. A very fine wine for game birds!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.
