Tasting notes
A rich and powerful wine, bursting with intense dark and red fruit flavors layered with zesty spice. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, yet finely textured, carrying notes of blackberry, black cherry, and plum alongside hints of pepper, licorice, and garrigue herbs. The long, persistent finish is vibrant and snappy, leaving a lasting impression of depth and energy.
More About The Winery
Founded in 1998 by Hervé Bizeul — former “Best Young Sommelier of France,” wine journalist, and Paris wine bar owner — Domaine du Clos des Fées has become one of the most acclaimed estates in Roussillon. What began with a small, garage-made vintage quickly turned into an international success story, with the wines now sought after by collectors worldwide.
The domaine’s vineyards stretch across diverse terroirs, up to 15 km apart, with exposures and soils ranging from granite to limestone. Many plots feature century-old vines, hand-harvested and farmed with a philosophy of respect for nature.
With plantings focused on Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Grenache Blanc, and Grenache Gris, Clos des Fées produces wines of remarkable depth, concentration, and finesse. Ageing in oak barriques and bottling without filtration further enhances their character and authenticity.
