Le Clos des Fées - IGP Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes blanc 2022
90/100
Robert Parker
This white " Vieilles Vignes" is a cuvée made from the estate’s oldest vines (over 100 years old), located in the “Mas Farines” area. It is a wine that opens up generously with aromas of peach, almond blossom, and broom. On the palate, it is rich, fruity, and fresh, in a proudly Mediterranean style. A very lovely white wine from Roussillon!

About the estate:
Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of Roussillon. 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, much like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
