1903年の樹が語る、カリニャンの気品。

ドメーヌの歴史が始まった1903年、カタランの「ラ・トラバセル」の丘に植えられた一区画のカリニャン。鉄分とシリカを含む結晶片岩土壌が、低収量だった時代の上品なカリニャン像を今に伝えます。野生酵母によりコンクリート大桶で発酵させ、木製大樽で9か月熟成。シルキーで濃密な口当たりに、しっかりとしたタンニンと程よいミネラル。ジビエや血のソースを使った料理とともに、熟成を待つのも一興です。

Tasting note

Tasting note

This wine is made from Carignan trees planted in 1903 in a patch of land along the hill called ``La Travaselle'' in Catalan. Made from crystalline schist soil containing iron and silica (silicon dioxide), this cuvée was a model of sublime and elegant Carignan in an era of low production. Very round and ripe, with firm tannins, just the right amount of minerality, and a hint of freshness.

About this bottle

This Carignan wine was planted in 1903, the year the history of Roc des Anges began. The soil is schist. Fermented with wild yeast in concrete vats, it is then aged for nine months in wooden barrels. This silky and dense cuvée is very round and ripe, with firm tannins and a hint of freshness. It has a moderate minerality, is youthful, and has great ageing potential.

About the producer

Domaine Le Roc des Anges

[Wine named after Angel, grown in 750 million year old schist]

Roc des Anges was founded in February 2001 by husband and wife duo Marjorie and Stéphane Gallé. Marjorie grew up near Côte Rôtie and has been involved with wine since she was a child. She trained with Yves Cuilleron and Pierre Gaillard in the Northern Rhône and then qualified in Montpellier.

The Domaine's name comes from a single Carignan vine planted on a quartz vein. The white soil, surrounded by black schist, is called Roc Blanc, meaning white rock. The angel is the symbol of the quartz vein soil, hence the name Roc des Anges (Rock of Angels).

The vineyard is built on very old schist (750 million years old), a soft, flaky layer of pure clay that has been compressed. The bedrock is less than one metre thick, providing ideal conditions for the vines to establish roots and recover even during the drought and heat that arrives in June.

While most of their wines are aged in concrete vats, aging in wooden barrels can transform a wine from hard and expressionless to soft and expressive, so they use mostly premium barrels from Burgundy (3-5 years old) with some new oak as well.

Although the rule is to "keep it simple," putting it into practice is the most difficult. Observe, taste, wait, and guide the wine in a direction that maximizes the expression of the terroir's characteristics. The conditions required for aging vary depending on the vintage.

敬愛するル・ロック・デ・ザンジュ…とは言え、そうそう出会えない生産者(ワイン)な訳ですが ”時間経過”により失われたモノと、その引き換えに得られたモノや備わったモノが素晴らしい作品と言える？濃縮ではない凝縮感、集中力のある液質そろそろ果実感は落ち着き、綺麗な酸と鉄や墨を思わせる鉱物の質感やミネラル感が長い余韻へ続いていく時間経過と共にドライフルーツ、ナツメグの甘やかなニュアンスが顔を出してくる？気易くは飲めそうにないですが、あらゆる場面で何度も飲みたいワインです
