古木が湛える、ルシヨンのグラン・ヴァン。

樹齢70〜100年の古木が生む凝縮感と、シラー主体ならではの深いスパイス香。黒く不透明な色調から、完熟果実と新樽由来のヴァニラが溶け合う芳醇なアロマが立ち上がり、空気に触れるほど香りの幅を変えていきます。口中は非常に密でボリュームがあり、果肉を思わせるテクスチャーと比類なきフィネス、シルキーな質感が同居。デキャンタージュをおすすめします。鴨胸肉のロゼ焼きとともに。

Tasting note

Tasting note

It has a black, opaque color and a complex aroma dominated by spices and vanilla. The range of scents continues to change as they come into contact with air. It has a rich, concentrated fruitiness and a ripe taste. The nuances of vanilla and spices from new barrel aging blend perfectly. The mouth is very dense and voluminous, with a texture reminiscent of fruit pulp. Yet it possesses unparalleled finesse and a silky texture.

Food pairing

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
Very old Grenache (25%) and Carignan (15%), aged between 70 and 100 years.
Furthermore, high-quality young Syrah (50%) and Mourvedre (10%) are used.
The trees are trained and planted at a high density of 6,800 plants per hectare, each trained to individual supports (eshara).

A mosaic of small, carefully selected plots of old vines, all on clay-limestone slopes.
Green work is carried out thoroughly, focusing on thinning buds, removing secondary buds, adjusting yields, and removing leaves.

brewing
We pursue complete phenolic maturity, optimized for each variety.
The grapes are sorted twice, once at harvest and once after destemming. After harvest, they are kept warm in refrigerated trucks.
Part of the wine is vinified in 5hl demi-muid barrels (all processes, including remontage, racking and transfer to barrels, are done by hand, no pumps are used), while the rest is vinified in small conical stainless steel tanks.
After high temperature drainage (écoulage à chaud), malolactic fermentation is carried out.
Aging is carried out in 100% new barrels (Sawley) and aged on the lees for approximately 18 months.

About this bottle

The scale of this wine truly qualifies it as a Roussillon Grand Vin.

This wine boasts an overwhelming concentration from 70-100 year-old vines and the deep spicy aroma of Syrah. Its opaque black color, rich aroma of ripe fruit blending with vanilla from new oak, and dense volume envelop the palate. The supple, high-quality tannins create a long finish. This is a true Grand Vin, combining the individuality and elegance of Roussillon in the south of France. Decanting is recommended, and this exceptional wine promises aging potential.

About the producer

Domaine du Clos des Fees

[A producer who has taken Roussillon wine to another level]

In French, "clos" means a small vineyard surrounded by a wall, and "fée" means a fairy, so the name of the domaine, "Le Clos des Fées," means the vineyard where fairies would live if they existed.

Located in a remote area of the Mediterranean dry region known as the Garrigue, Le Clos des Fées is surrounded by low, dried-up stone walls, creating a landscape that looks like it came straight out of a postcard.

Since ancient times, generations of grape growers have used their wisdom and patience to remove large and small stones buried in the fields one by one by hand and horse, and then pile them up.

The grapes are grown in seven different areas, each with its own special terroir. One of them is blessed with exceptional soil, red clay of alluvial origin, with a high content of round pebbles, reminiscent of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

This acidic soil gives Mourvèdre a richness that cannot be found anywhere else. Vinification is traditional, but the ageing process varies depending on the cuvée: Sorcières is in stainless steel tanks, Vieilles Vignes in oak barrels, and Clos des Fées in oak barrels for both vinification and ageing.

The Domaine is led by Hervé Bizzle, who was crowned French national sommelier champion in 1981 and has since followed his instincts to pursue a wide range of wine-related careers, including restaurant management and gastronomy journalism.

It is a famous anecdote that the flagship cuvée Clos des Fées 2001 received a score of 96 points in Wineart issue 16, beating Domaine Goby's Muntada.
