Marjorie Gallet and her husband Stéphane moved to the Roussillon in 2000. It was there Marjorie worked a few months with Gérard Gauby. What she learned from him went beyond science: he taught her a winemaking philosophy.
Stéphane took over the technical management of a famous estate in Maury while Marjorie went looking for vines for their estate project. There were a few parcels in Roussillon that reminded Marjorie a lot of Côte-Rôtie. One in particular was planted on a vein of quartz: a white-soil hill surrounded by black schists. The lieu-dit was called Roc Blanc (French for « white rock ») due to this picturesque, natural vein of quartz.
“Le Roc des Anges” stemmed from this duality.
The two farm their vineyard biodynamically, which encourages deep root penetration, and the cultivation of a high leaf canopy allows for great photosynthesis and good shade for the grapes. Every grape at Roc des Anges is picked by hand, at the coolest parts of the day, and are kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing that great finesse and freshness in every wine. The wines are incredible fresh, with great fruit, vibrant minerality and a beautiful bouquet of aromas. Every year, we are excited to see what Marjorie and Stéphane have in store for us.

This one is electric, great minerality, great lemon lime and saltiness. It even has a little ageability. I’d drink this over the next few years. This is one of the absolute best expressions from the region (a Cru vineyard designate in 2011) and so perfect with anything out of the sea but in particular the raw bar. Crisp and clean stone fruit with some pear, and a lot of personality. This is a great new discovery wine to check out.
The newly released 2021 Frenzy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fabulous value white wine, loaded with green apples, pears and white peaches plus a hint of spice. It’s juicy and fresh, the perfect cocktail hour white. It’s what is referred to as the perfect ‘pool wine’. It’s great paired with just about anything or just enjoyed on its own.
The newly released Torrontes from Herve Fabre is a fantastic bottle of wine for the price tag. A delicious, crisp white wine treat from our good friend Herve. Crafted in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region, this delicious white offers delicate aromas of white flowers, orange blossom with a touch of lime that adds a delicious lift to the wine.

“A debut variety for this label. Stainless steel fermented and aged for five months, it was pressed whole cluster, crémant style which resulted in fine acidity and an inner sunshine. Its just-sliced lemon- fresh nose sends one to a perfectly balanced palate. Melon, guava, and banana are glossy and clean. The stony mid-to-finish leaves a trace of terroir on the tongue.”

I absolutely love this wine. One of my favorites for everyday drinking. I’ve also met the winemaker at a tasting and she’s lovely.
