    Portrait of Marjorie Gallet

    i. Biography

    The Climb

    Training at the University of Montpellier gave Marjorie Gallet the technical base for a winemaking practice built on precision rather than display. In 2001, she founded Domaine Le Roc des Anges in Montner, setting the terms of the estate from the start: old vines, old soil, and a method shaped by close attention to place. Her own line about the domaine — “Old vines, old soil. I’m the only young thing at the domaine.” — captures the working logic of that site with dry clarity.

    Today

    At Domaine Le Roc des Anges in Montner, Marjorie Gallet remains the founder and winemaker, and the estate still turns on the same conditions that defined it in 2001. Old vines and old soil are not just a description of the property; they are the working ground for her decisions. The continuity matters here. Her role has stayed tied to the same place, and the domaine’s character is built through that long repetition of care, season after season.

    Signature

    Marjorie's signature dishes include Vieilles Vignes, L'effet Papillon, and Alquimia sous voile. Taken together, they point to a working style that favors names with texture and restraint. The list carries the same sense of place and measured expression that defines Domaine Le Roc des Anges, without leaning on ornament.

    In Their Words “Old vines, old soil. I’m the only young thing at the domaine.”

    Recognition

    Founding Domaine Le Roc des Anges in 2001 placed Marjorie Gallet’s work on a single line of continuity, with the estate still organized around her role as winemaker. The remark about old vines and old soil does more than carry wit; it compresses the terms of her practice into one sentence. The measure here is the site itself, and the discipline is staying with it.
