酸化のニュアンスが編む、古典の白。

セミヨン100%から生まれる希少なキュヴェ。リキッドゴールドの色調から、蜜蝋やサフラン、自家製アプリコットジャム、バーボンバニラといった意外性のある香りが立ち上がります。口中は豊かで力強く、明確なタンニンと適度にコントロールされた酸化のタッチが、途切れることのない長い余韻へと導きます。1時間の空気接触を経ると、香りはバラやシャクヤクへと変化します。鴨のコンフィや熟成した白カビチーズとともに。

Tasting note

Tasting note

Liquid gold in color. The complex aroma reveals unexpected nuances of beeswax, saffron, homemade apricot jam, and bourbon vanilla. The palate is rich and powerful, with well-defined tannins and a touch of controlled oxidation, resulting in a long, continuous finish. After an hour of airing, the aroma evolves into rose and peony. A classic white wine, it maintains a surprising freshness amid its richness and power.

Food pairing

Duck confit with apricot chutney, saffron risotto, Matured white mold cheeses such as Chaource

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation

Grown in a Mediterranean climate on a 50-acre plot, the vines were cleft-grafted onto 15-year-old rootstock in 2006 with our own Massal Selection Semillon grapes. The vines are trained in the Cordon de Royale method.

brewing

The grapes are harvested when fully ripe. They are hand-picked at dawn and then transported in small crates in refrigerated trucks. They are soft-pressed whole clusters using an air compressor for five hours. After clarification at low temperatures, the grapes are gravity-transferred into new 500L demi-muid barrels. Fermentation takes place over a long period of approximately six weeks using natural yeasts. Bâtonnage is performed once a month. Aging takes place on the lees for 12 months. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the grapes are left to rest in stainless steel tanks for six months before bottling. The grapes are lightly filtered and bottled with minimal SO₂ additions. Aging takes place in the bottle for a further 24 months or more.

About this bottle

A classic white wine with rich flavor and hints of oxidation.

This rare cuvée, made from 100% Semillon, radiates a golden glow. Rich aromas of beeswax, apricot, and vanilla emerge, followed by a rich, savory flavor and exceptional concentration. A subtle hint of oxidation adds complexity, resulting in a classic white wine with a long, lingering finish. Its aging process is impressive, making it a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for years to come. It pairs exceptionally well with cheese, morels, and seafood dishes.

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.
