[ALLOCATION] Domaine du Clos des Fees - '100 Phrases pour Eventail' Red 2023

Grape

100% Pinot Noir

100 Phrases pour Éventails 2022 is the second installment of a red wine produced by Herve Bizuel of Clos des Fées, in collaboration with Jean-Yves Bizot, from the coveted Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée (Burgundy). These two figures in the world of wine decided to join forces to jointly produce a world-class pinot noir in Roussillon, this cuvée has earned a reputation worthy of the greatest Burgundies.

The grapes come from the vines that Hervé had planted 6 years earlier on a north-facing slope of the Agly valley on calcareous soils. Aging was carried out in 600 liter vats. 

The wine, whose name refers to Paul Claudel's book of poems, caused a sensation in its first vintage and became an object of desire. Just over 1,000 bottles have been made of this second vintage, which will be contested by the best restaurants and collectors. 

Tasting notes

This wine boasts excellent ageing potential and promises to flourish gracefully in the cellar. Its purplish hue with brilliant ruby highlights is a prelude to a refined and expressive nose, where aromas of violet, delicate oak, and indulgent notes of black fruit and ripe cherry intertwine. On the palate, it unveils all the finesse and complexity of a great Pinot Noir — structured, silky, and impeccably balanced. The finish is long and harmonious, with beautifully integrated, supple tannins.
