A vibrant benchmark in the Roussillon, Le Roc des Anges is one of our most beloved estates. Since 2001, the brilliant and meticulous duo Marjorie and Stéphane Gallet have crafted biodynamic wines of rare identity—wines that channel both power and elegance while revealing the deep mineral character of their exceptional terroirs.

These are wines of extraordinary finesse, deeply rooted in place and bathed in the luminous energy of the Roussillon landscape.

Now in high demand, the estate is entering a new chapter as the Gallets pass the torch to Thibault Ponthier. Don’t miss this chance to secure the final vintages of their parcel-based cuvées—especially since the low yields of 2024 will prevent them from being produced.
