“Fagayra Red delights with its natural, well-preserved fruit expression, slightly more lively and crisp in 2013 than in 2012. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2015 - RVF). A Maury of beautiful intensity, with notes of morello cherry, blackberry, candied fruit, and cocoa—a tannic, full-bodied cuvée with a sensation of fruit you can almost bite into... Very delicious!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2015 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Stéphane Gallet, Marjorie’s husband from Roc des Anges, after leaving Mas Amiel—where he had gained valuable experience in a vineyard that was then new to him—set up his own business and immediately began producing some of the most original and accomplished Maurys of our time, the result of impeccable viticulture and winemaking that leaves nothing to chance.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2015 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
Rated estate (2015 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The red Fagayra delights with its natural, unadulterated fruitiness, showing a touch more liveliness and crispness in 2013 than in 2012.
About the estate:
Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet, of the Le Roc des Anges estate, embarked on the adventure of natural sweet wines in 2008: with rare inspiration and an extreme commitment to quality, they craft magnificent expressions of schist in their three Maury cuvées. These wines—two reds and one white—transcend the inherent limitations of fortified wine by preserving a brilliance and a mineral smokiness, a term that is clearly apt here. They shed new light on a genre that is still too formulaic or conventional, and immediately rank among the very best Maury cuvées. The second star is well deserved this year.
