Clos des Fées - Le Clos des Fées 2018
The Domaine du Clos des Fées is located in Côtes-du-Roussillon, at the foot of the Pyrenees. It was created by Hervé Bizeul in 1997, to live fully his passion for wine. From April 1999, his wines were sold “en primeur”. The vineyard increased a little, he had 7 hectares in production but only 15,000 bottles due to small yields. Today, the Domaine du Clos des Fées vineyard covers 30 hectares: 27.5 hectares planted in red and 2.5 hectares planted in white. The estate is considered to be No. 1 in Roussillon.
Le Clos des Fées is a blend of Syrah (25%), Mourvèdre (25%), Grenache (25%) and Carignan (25%), from plots of old vines selected on clay-limestone hillsides. The grapes are harvested manually, sorted in the vineyard and then after destemming. The vinification is carried out partly in new demi-muids of 5 hectolitres. The aging lasts 18 months, on the lees, in new barrels.
Grape varieties: 25% Syrah, 25% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, 25% Carignan
