"Fagayra Rouge is delightful in the natural and preserved expression of its fruit, slightly more lively and crisp in 2013 than in 2012. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A Maury of beautiful intensity, with notes of morello cherry, blackberry, candied fruit, and cocoa, a tannic and full-bodied cuvée, endowed with a sensation of crunchy fruit... Very indulgent!

About the estate:
Stéphane Gallet, husband of Marjorie, from Roc des Anges, after leaving Mas Amiel with the harsh experience of a vineyard that was then new to him, set up his own business and immediately produced some of the most original and accomplished Maurys of our time, born of impeccable viticulture and winemaking that leaves nothing to chance.

About wine:
Fagayra Rouge is delightful in the natural and preserved expression of its fruit, slightly more lively and crisp in 2013 than in 2012.
About the estate:
Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet, from the Le Roc des Anges estate, embarked on the adventure of natural sweet wines in 2008: with rare inspiration and an extreme concern for quality, they craft three Maury vintages that are magnificent expressions of schist. These wines, two reds and one white, transcend the inherent limitations of fortification by preserving a brightness and mineral smokiness, a term that is clearly appropriate here. They shed new light on a genre that is still too formulaic or conventional, and are immediately ranked among the very best Maury vintages. The second star is well deserved this year.
