Ratings: Robert Parker 90/100, Gault Millau 18/20, RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20
Le Clos des Fées is crafted from a mosaic of tiny plots of selected old vines, all planted on clay-limestone slopes. A blend of equal parts Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, and Carignan Noir. A wine aged on its lees for approximately 18 months, depending on the vintage, which opens with notes of lily, ripe berries, grenadine, and garrigue... A must-try!

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.
