Le Roc Des Anges
Founded in 2001 by Marjorie Gallet, Il Roc des Anges are among the most exciting rising stars of the Roussillon. They farm 25 hectares of old vine Grenache, Grenache Gris, Carignan, Maccabeu and Syrah on ancient schist soils, with a vein of quartz. They painstakingly attend to the vineyards through organic and biodynamic principles.
Description
Color: Pale straw yellow with a silver tapered rim. Nose: On the nose, the Llum is always timid, almost taciturn, and can only be deciphered between the lines without false arrogance. Everything it currently offers serves only as a placeholder for its potential and further development. The Macabeu already reserves the olfactory sunbed with its towel, but without appearing at the pool, and the Grenache Gris is also currently only announced by a few personal objects at the place. Nevertheless, everything seems to be in the right place here, just before things really get going. The salty scent of the nearby sea wafts over everything. Mouth: The 2020 Llum from Roc des Anges is currently only a sketch of a wine that will soon blossom into its full size. Firm and closed on the palate with high vibration and tension on the palate, it seems like a monolith whose contours are yet to be revealed. The acidity is elegantly interwoven, aromatically it is rather taciturn with some liquorice next to the clearly saline character. A wine that will reward us richly in just a few months.
