“The Enchanting One”

A single-vineyard cuvée made from Grenache Noir vines planted in 1991 on the northern slope of Força Real. Cultivated using biodynamic methods, it is delicate, with a subtle, charming nose and a palate full of tension that delivers a lovely freshness. It is the very embodiment of its terroir, composed of ancient, crumbly schist.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Bright. That’s surely the adjective that best describes Roc des Anges, both in terms of the style of the wines and the modern, aesthetically pleasing winery run by Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet. They built their estate from the ground up, and today it spans 45 hectares of vineyards. These are highly drinkable wines, relatively low in alcohol for the region, where meticulous viticulture and a well-timed harvest prevent any heaviness in the wines. Biodynamics accounts for part of this uniqueness in Roussillon, as does the very distinctive terroir of Montner, with its very fine schist that behaves like sand. This estate consistently delivers some of the most exquisite dry wines in the entire department.
