「魔女」の名を持つ、透明な一杯。

澄んだ色調にかすかな緑がきらめく、ルシヨンの白。その名は「魔女」を意味します。白い花に白桃、レモンやグレープフルーツの複雑なアロマが立ち上り、口当たりは生き生きとして軽やか。柑橘のフルーティさと果実の豊かな甘みが調和し、後味にはヨードや焼き林檎の印象がほのかに残ります。グルナッシュ・ブランを主体に4品種を重ねた構成。よく冷やして、イワシのグリルや魚のテリーヌとともに。

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
Rolle and Roussanne were planted in 2011 on calcareous clay soils.
The macabe trees in Le Bac were planted in 1945 and are grown with standard spacing (1.65m x 1.65m).

brewing
The harvest was carried out to obtain maximum fruit flavour and moderate alcohol content.
The grapes are hand-picked in the morning and transported in refrigerated trucks. To prevent oxidation and preserve the fruit flavor, whole bunches are directly pressed at low temperature and pressure (5 hours).

The wine is fermented in tanks at low temperatures using indigenous yeasts, and then aged on fine lees.
Bottled in February.

About this bottle

Les Sorcières means "the witches." A beautifully clear wine with a clear color and a hint of green sparkling. The floral aroma and the scent of lemon, grapefruit, and ripe white peach spread softly. The mouthfeel is refreshing, with a perfect balance of lemony acidity and rich fruit sweetness. The clean finish leaves a subtle saltiness and a warm lingering hint of apple, making this a white wine perfect to enjoy chilled with 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.
