Roc Des Anges Description
Marjorie was born in Grenoble and grew up in the Northern Rhône. Stéphane was born in Normandy. The couple met at the agronomy school in Montpellier. Marjorie apprenticed at Domaine Gauby; Stephane at Cuilleron and Les Vins de Vienne, after which he worked at Mas Amiel. They founded Roc des Anges in 2001.
Tasting Note: Herbs – medicinal, not garrigue. Something at the hypothetical crossroads of hay and bread dough. Blood orange. Balsamic. An unconforming lack of fruit notes, red or black, except on the following day, when there is purple fruit as fresh as if the wine had been sampled from the tank. The attack is so addicting: relaxed and full of cuddles, but also very classy. There is sweetness – and it is southern – but there is freshness too, with acidity that is discreet, yet filling all the nooks. The texture is velvety but the word cloying won’t even cross your mind. The tannins form a contained core on the finish, a knitting pin of schisty stuff, not a tube. It is definitely Rayas-like in class, love and undeniability, but without the brown sugar and with a little licorice stick bitters. It’s just so happy, giving and lifted, it will never need therapy. It’s to be taken seriously, though, as in high up there with the very best of the south, effortless and magnificent.
