Iglesia Vella 2021 Domaine Le Roc des Anges

Iglesia Vella

単一区画が語る、純粋な岩盤の味わい。

1954年植樹のグルナッシュ・グリを、片岩土壌の単一区画から。豊かなミネラル感と長い余韻をもたらす畑の個性が、そのまま一本に写し取られています。淡いレモンイエローに金色のニュアンス、香りは静謐で精緻。洋梨や白桃に蜂蜜、フェンネル、貝殻のような塩味の印象が重なります。透明感と硬質な構造が共存し、余韻は驚くほど長く。鶏肉のローストや白カビチーズと合わせてどうぞ。

Tasting note

Pale lemon yellow in appearance with a slight golden nuance. When swirled in the glass, the viscosity is moderate, suggesting the presence of minerality and calmness that comes from aging. The nose is tranquil and refined, with pure fruit notes of white flowers, pear, and white peach, layered with nuances of almond and hazelnut, powdery minerals reminiscent of limestone, and a subtle smokiness, which develop over time into impressions of honey, fennel, and salty notes like shells. The palate is surprisingly clear and firm. The rounded texture of the Grenache Gris is complemented by a firm acidity that tightens the overall texture, leading to a long, slender mineral finish. The wine is light thanks to its minimal batonnage, and the salty accents add dimension to the palate. The finish is extremely long, with subtle nuances of white pepper and flint lingering.

Winemaking & technical data

The name comes from an old tree plot (the "Iglesia Vella" plot) planted in 1954.

Soil/vineyard location: Old shale (slate) soil, north-facing slope, deep-rooted and demanding terroir.

Cultivation and winemaking management: Organic and biodynamic farming methods are used. Yields are limited.

Vinification and ageing: Fermented with wild yeast and aged in large barrels, large capacity foudres or old barrels. Lightly racked to retain acidity.
