95/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"A mosaic of plots with old vines"
The Relief cuvée is a blend of small plots of old vines, each of which contributes its own unique character to the wine. It has perfect depth and length—a full-bodied red that allows you to discover the distinctive characteristics of old vines. It pairs perfectly with slow-cooked confit lamb.

Wine rated 95/100 (2021 vintage)
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 built by Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet. They built their estate from the ground up, and today it spans 45 hectares under production. These wines are highly drinkable, with alcohol levels on the lower side for the region; careful viticulture and a well-timed harvest ensure the wines never feel heavy. Biodynamic farming accounts for part of this uniqueness in the Roussillon region, as does the very distinctive terroir of Montner—featuring very fine schist that behaves like sand. This estate consistently delivers some of the most delightful dry wines in the entire department.
