WINE DESCRIPTION
Le Roc des Anges' "Llum" is a radiant example of the winemaking prowess found in the rugged terroir of Roussillon, France. Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet, the dedicated vignerons behind this gem, farm their vines biodynamically, fostering a deep connection with the land. "Llum," which means 'light' in Catalan, is crafted primarily from old-vine Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, planted on the unique black schist soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in demi-muids, this wine is a pure expression of place, showcasing the balance between power and finesse.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Le Roc des Anges' "Llum" presents a luminous golden hue, beckoning with its glow.The nose is an enchanting fusion of ripe orchard fruits, white flowers, and a mineral streak reminiscent of wet stones. The palate is a cascade of peach and pear, enveloped by a creamy texture that speaks to its lees aging, yet there's a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine in a delicate balance. The finish brings a touch of spice and a saline note, a signature of the schist soils, making it linger with complexity and grace. This is a wine that manages to be both richly textured and elegantly poised.

ORIGINS
Winery: Le Roc des Anges
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
