Description

It reveals an elegant expression of old-vine Carignan, with vibrant red berry fruit, wild herbs, and a whisper of graphite. The palate is supple yet focused, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a stony mineral finish. A beautifully lifted wine that combines intensity with finesse, reflecting its schist soils and century-old vines.

Roc des Anges

Le Roc des Anges is not the kind of domaine you expect to find in the Roussillon. Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet have constructed an organic and biodynamic wine sanctuary in the Vallée de l’Agly, a nearly deserted vineyard land and one of the most difficult places in France to make a living in vineyards. They produce very small quantities of wines, committing to ecological practices and minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery.

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon, situated in southern France, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine, hot summers, and mild winters, ideal for viticulture. Languedoc-Roussillon produces a wide variety of wines, including robust reds from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, as well as crisp, refreshing whites and rosés. The area is also known for its excellent sparkling wines, particularly Crémant de Limoux. The diverse terroir, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques result in wines with distinctive character and depth. Languedoc-Roussillon is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a rich and varied wine experience.
