Description

Product description for Roc des Anges Llum, Côtes Catalanes blanc IGP 2021 (bio)

Information

Llum, which means light in German, is a cuvée of Grenache Gris – planted in 1919 – and Macabeu, and this vintage also with Grenache Blanc – planted in 2008. The three varieties grow on pure slate soil in the Piedmont Pyrénéen region. They were spontaneously fermented and aged in used oak.

Colour

Straw yellow

Nose

Llum is a wine that lives up to its name. When traveling through the south of France, you’ll find plenty of white wines that are rather ponderous, dense, powerful, and heavy. Not so with Marjorie Gallet. She creates a Burgundy in Roussillon, using southern French varieties. Llum smells of salted lemons, white tea, a hint of jasmine, and fennel greens. Added to this is a hint of the finest wood, furthermore an iodine breeze alongside crushed stone.

Palate

On the palate, the Llum offers a delicate creaminess from extended lees aging and again that very subtle note of wood, nut, and caramel, which, however, only resonates far in the background. Much more pronounced are the bright, powerful citrus notes, the fennel green, the white cassis, the salt. This is a wine with impressive tension, with freshness and mouthwatering juiciness, which is still at the very beginning of its development.
