Ratings: Robert Parker 91/100, Gault Millau 17.5/20, RVF 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20
The Clos des Fées Vieilles Vignes red is a blend of the estate’s oldest vines (50 to 100 years old). Extensive green harvesting ensures impeccable grape quality. A powerful, highly concentrated cuvée with aromas of licorice, vanilla, and morello cherry, featuring silky tannins that offer immediate enjoyment. This wine possesses a sunny character that will blossom with time. A truly beautiful bottle!

About the estate:
Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of the Roussillon region. That doesn’t stop him from constantly challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely withstands the harsh sun and the Tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée displays a personality all its own, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.

Review by Mr. PHILIPPE P. Published on May 11, 2013
A big surprise, I must admit—a really good wine, perfect for a casual get-together, BBQ, or game (cooked without a marinade). A victim of its own success, prices are rising.
