2023 Le Roc des Anges Côtes Catalanes Blanc "Llum", Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Bright, textural, and quietly expressive, the 2023 “Llum” Blanc from Le Roc des Anges is a luminous southern white that combines Mediterranean warmth with striking freshness. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, fennel, and crushed stones lead into a silky, medium-bodied palate with vibrant acidity and a long, mineral finish. A graceful and layered wine that lives up to its name—“llum” meaning “light” in Catalan.

ABOUT THIS WINE

“Llum” is a blend of predominantly Grenache Gris with smaller portions of Grenache Blanc and Macabeu, sourced from biodynamically farmed, old-vine parcels on schist soils in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The 2023 vintage was marked by moderate temperatures and balanced ripening, yielding wines with clarity, poise, and aromatic lift.

Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in a mix of concrete eggs and old barrels to preserve freshness and texture. The result is a wine with subtle fruit, stony minerality, and a beautifully balanced mouthfeel.
