Domaine Roc des Anges - Imalaya 2021
The Domaine Roc des Anges is located in Latour-de-France, in Roussillon . It was created by Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet in 2001. Marjorie, originally from Grenoble, and Stéphane, originally from Normandy, met at the school of agronomy in Montpellier. Their two common passions, wine and horse riding, sealed their relationship. They graduated in 2000 and settled in Roussillon where Marjorie worked for a time with Gérard Gauby. Stéphane takes over the technical management of a large estate in Maury. Marjorie then went in search of vines to create the estate and fell in love with a plot planted with Carignan on a vein of quartz in the locality of Roc Blanc. Stéphane joined her in 2008 and in turn found a plot in Maury which they named “Terres de Fagayra” and which would be used to produce their natural sweet wines. The vineyards of both estates are certified biodynamic .
Imalaya is a parcel-based cuvée made from Carignan Gris, planted in 1961 and grown on granite. The plot is located 500 meters above sea level. This variety is rare, there are only about twenty hectares planted in France.
