Le Roc des Anges "Llum" dry white 2021

Comment from the domaine : Its lace-like style between crystal and minerality comes straight from the very shallow soils of clay-free schists.

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Advice for opening our wines : Do not serve too cold. They have low alcohol and low pH, so there is no need to seek balance through cold; it would only disrupt the mouthfeel and thus miss the wine. Serve at 13° in the glass to enjoy between 15 and 18 °. The end of the bottle is always better, meaning when the wine has had enough air and warmed up! At that point, the wines express 100% of their nuances, including the delicacy that only reveals itself when "warm" and exposed to air.

Grapes : 50% Grenache gris, 50% Maccabeu.

Terroir : shallow soils of ancient schists resulting from the compression of pure clays, rich in silica. North-facing slope of Força Réal, village of Montner, Pyrénées - Orientales.

Age of the vines : between 70 and 100 years, 11 different plots are included in the blend of this wine.

Vineyard management : biodynamics.

Yield : 15 hl/ha

Harvest : manual in 20 kg crates.

Fermentation and aging : light settling, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, in old barrels of 500 L and 228 L.

Service : serve at 13°C

Food pairings : Try with delicate-fleshed fish, in tartares or carpaccios, but also with scallops, or even oysters. In its evolving phase, it can be paired with stewed hens, chickens, and capons (with spices and dried fruits, morels, chestnuts...).

Ageing potential : 10 years.

* Llum : the light in Catalan.
