Le Roc des Anges - Las Trabasseres 2013

17/20

RVF

Las Trabasseres, which means “the path that runs along the mountain, on the hillside” in Catalan, comes from a Carignan vineyard planted in 1913. A supple and harmonious red wine offering lovely notes of fresh fruit and floral nuances, with great distinction. A well-concentrated, powerful, and complex wine from one of the most successful vintages!

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

About the estate:

Luminous. 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 relatively low alcohol content 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.
