"This masterful vintage delivers the very best of Roc d'Anglade, with incredible purity, delicacy, and sensitivity."

Subtle on the nose with intense aromas of red and black fruits, spices, and flowers, Reserva Especial N°11 has a refined palate with vibrant fruit, caressing tannins, and notes of wilted rose. This cuvée is inspired by a Spanish tradition of blending different harvests to create the wine that best represents the estate. Please note that quantities are very limited!

Wine rating (2024 guide) 95/100 (No. 10)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About wine:

Roasted and tangy notes are the hallmarks of the exceptional Reserva Especial No. 10, a blend of 2020, 2019, and 2018, enhanced with a touch of 2017 and 2016. Only 2,000 bottles of this little gem have been produced. A wine that is both dense and very composed, with fine tannins and great liveliness. The magic of Roc d'Anglade is back!

About the estate:

Rémy Pédréno has been based on this 9-hectare estate in the historic Langlade terroir since 1999, alongside his wife Martine. Having previously worked in the northern Rhône, notably at the Rostaing estate, this passionate winemaker from Nîmes quickly took his place among the region's greats, producing elegant, taut and airy wines on this marl-limestone terroir that has been renowned for centuries. Barrel aging and extra precision in lees management have taken this estate to a new level, making it an undisputed benchmark today. Jeremy Stevenson joined Martine and Rémy after gaining experience in New Zealand, Alsace, Chile, and Oregon.
