Tasting Notes & Ratings
Grape
96% Grenache Noir, 2% Mourvèdre, 2%Syrah
A single 1.16 hectare plot is devoted to one of the property's finest cuvées, the sublime, almost legendary "Petite Sibérie". The old Grenache Noir vines grow in somewhat extreme conditions on a clay-limestone base, covered with schist with an exceptionally high iron content. The plot is exposed to an icy wind for more than 200 days of the year, hence its name, "Little Siberia". The wine is topped up regularly with a blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah, and then bottled without filtration. A superb, dense, complex wines that needs at least 15 years to reveal its potential.
Tasting notes
La Petite Sibérie from Clos des Fées is a powerful and rich wine with notes of ripe fruit, with an exceptional length in the mouth, counterbalanced by a vivacity that refreshes the whole. All this gives us a racy wine of incredible balance and class.
