Roc des Anges - Roussillon

Domain: Roc des Anges

Roc des Anges is Majorie Gallet’s ambitious project. At just 23 years old, she launched herself into this venture after having learnt the tricks of the trade from Gérard Gauby.

This domaine, established in 2001 by Marjorie Gallet, has a very evocative name. Located in Montner, in the Roussillon, it boasts 25 hectares of old grape varieties (Carignan, Grenache, Maccabeu, and Syrah) which exude depth and character. Struck by the Roussillon region’s “violent nature”, and charmed by the diversity of its terroirs, she is forging ahead with her husband Stéphane, motivated by the clear conviction that “nature is fundamental, the place confers its energy to the wine, the Roussillon light brightens without burning”. Biodynamic principles are applied in order to produce wines in her image, “at once strong and elegant”. Although the region experiences high summer temperatures, the grapes remain unscathed. The presence of old schist allows the vines to develop long roots and tap cooler depths. Yields are limited to 17hl/ha, making these wines intensely concentrated. Since 2008, Marjorie Gallet has been assisted by Stéphane and they tend the parcels organically (having achieved certification in 2011) and biodynamically. In the cellar, the aim is to retain as much of the freshness of the fruit as possible using simple but precise ageing techniques. This fine, innovative domaine is definitely one to check out.

What the guides say...

La Revue du vin de France

“Brilliant and perfectionistic winemakers, Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet […] have succeeded in leaving a personal mark on their produce, which is mainly from old Grenache and Carignan vines. The domain is now certified organic and biodynamic, and the wines have an outstanding finesse.”
