The Gallets, owners and winemakers of Domaine le Roc des Anges, acquired in 2007 a tiny new Domaine, Les Terres de Fagayra, giving Marjorie's husband, Stephane, a chance to utilise the special talents for Maury that he honed as winemaker while at nearby Mas Amiel. This little known appellation yields wines of great structure and flavour. These are fortified wines made in a similar style to Port. Their three cuvées are stunning. More than good, fortified wines they also display freshness, brightness and mineral smokiness. To say that Stephane was off to a flying and successful start would be an understatement.

This wine is honeyed in its richness and resembles a liqueur of Persian melon and Rainier cherry tinged with crystallised ginger and baking spices. This boasts a remarkable sense of invigoration and vibrancy, especially considering how luscious and viscous it is, and the sense of finishing sweetness is well integrated.

Try with raw fish, pan fried foie gras, cheeses and stone fruit desserts.
