Rating: Gault Millau 16/20
The old Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah vines carefully selected for this cuvée define its explosively fruity character. A rich wine on the palate, with beautiful expressions of black fruit without lacking freshness and finesse. Les Sorcières 2011 is appreciated for its immediate pleasure!

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.

Delicious on a chicken yassa. A must-try for anyone who hasn't had the chance to try it yet.

This winery has been my greatest discovery in recent years. With "Les Sorcières," you can treat yourself at a very reasonable price—but nothing beats the other wines from this winery, especially "Les Vieilles Vignes"...

In my opinion, it's a bit of a mediocre wine for the price, but it's perfect for giving your mother-in-law a little nod ;)

Clos des Fées Les Sorcières is always a safe bet! Unpretentious yet thoroughly enjoyable after two hours in a decanter
