"Fagayra blanc 2013 overflows with crisp, fresh fruit, between passion and grapefruit." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A delicious Maury white, with a tonic, mineral mouthfeel, on exotic and white fruit notes, then rocky nuances that dominate on aeration. Enjoy it now!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2015 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Stéphane Gallet, husband of Marjorie, of Roc des Anges, after leaving Mas Amiel, with the harsh experience of a vineyard then new to him, set up on his own, 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.

Rated (2015 guide) 17.5/20 (Grand vin)

Domaine rated (2015 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:

Fagayra blanc 2013 bursts with crisp, fresh fruit, between passion fruit and grapefruit.

About the domain :

In 2008, Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet of Domaine Le Roc des Anges embarked on the adventure of making vins doux naturels: with rare inspiration and the utmost concern for quality, they craft grandiose expressions of schist in their three cuvées of maury. These wines, two reds and one white, transcend the limits inherent in mutage, preserving a mineral brilliance and smokiness, a term that is so obvious here. They shed new light on a genre that's still too formatted or conventional, and immediately rank among Maury's very best cuvées. This year's second star is richly deserved.
