Tasting Note
The 2022 Domaine du Clos des Fées “Passat Minor” Blanc is a delicate, late-harvest Muscat with a luminous golden hue. It opens with expressive aromas of white peach, candied citrus, acacia honey, and orange blossom. On the palate, it is gently sweet yet light, with flavors of ripe apricot, citrus marmalade, and floral spice, all lifted by a refreshing saline note and balanced acidity. The finish is long, clean, and elegant - making it a refined dessert wine with both charm and finesse.
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.
