Tasting note

Tasting note

Its deep ruby red appearance is characteristic of the wine. Its clear color exudes elegance while retaining the concentrated flavor of old Grenache Noir vines. The elegant aromas that emerge from the glass are layered with ripe black cherry and plum compote, dried herbs, wild garrigue, black pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon, and licorice. The mineral-rich graphite-like aroma adds depth, a characteristic of the schist soil. The mouth is impressive for its intricate texture and precise balance. Fresh acidity supports the structure, and the energetic fruit and supple tannins are in perfect harmony. The alcohol is modest, and the style is delicate and does not rely on extraction. The finish is very long, with flavors of black fruits, spices, and minerals that quietly linger. This bottle clearly expresses Roc des Anges' philosophy of pursuing refinement and purity, and while it has the potential to age well, it is also very drinkable at the moment.

About this bottle

Carignan, planted in 1913. Pure schist soil. This cuvée is carved into the rock, and its aromas offer the sensation of diving into the mineral-rich soil.

Extremely elegant, with a long, lingering finish.

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.
