Domaine Roc des Anges - Effet Papillon 2022
Roc de Anges "L"effet Papillon" 2022
Marjorie Gallet grew up in the Northern Rhone raising horses but came to wine out of a sheer passion for the vine. After spending time at fantastic domaines like Cuilleron and Gagnard, she moved to the Roussillon, where she met her husband, Stephan Gallet, who happened to be the winemaker at Mas Amiel. They now run their own estate using strict organic and biodynamic farming principles from beautiful vineyards planted on schist soils called Roc des Anges and now this super little bargain. The Effet Papillon is made from Carignan and Grenache grapes they purchase and is one of the best values in red wine I have had this year. Dark fruit on the nose, brambly with spice nuances and that lovely garrigue character you get in the wines from this region. Fullish, plush and supple on the palate, it is versatile and crowd pleasing. Serve it guilt free with anything from Burgers to chicken, pork or steak on the grill.
