Modeste 2025 Domaine du Clos des Fées

Modest

冷やして愉しむ、南仏の軽やかな赤。

ルシヨンのエルヴェ・ビズールが手がける、遊び心あふれる限定キュヴェ。黒色片岩に育つグルナッシュとシラーを短期間だけ醸し、抽出はごくわずかに留めました。ブラインドではピノ・ノワールを想わせるほど澄んだガーネット色。グロゼイユや野いちご、枯れたバラ、カシスに土壌の香りが重なります。極めて繊細なタンニンと、渇きを癒すように引き締まった喉越し。白ワインの適温まで冷やして、シャルキュトリとともに。

Tasting note

With its exceptionally clear and translucent color, it almost always evokes Pinot Noir in a blind tasting. The powerful and refined aroma is complex yet prominent in fresh fruit, with nuances of withered rose, cassis, and earthy aromas. The palate is smooth and pure, with extremely delicate tannins. The finish is thirst-quenching and refreshing, with a refreshing, fruit-forward flavor that is so rare these days that it can surprise and sometimes bewilder. Always serve it chilled, at the ideal temperature for white wine or rosé, to maximize its potential.

Food pairing

Roasted duck breast, mushroom and herb risotto, lightly smoked salmon carpaccio

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation

The Grenache and Syrah come from young vines planted in the black shale soils of the Marne in the village of Espira de l'Agly, while the Cinsault comes from 35-year-old vines planted in clay-limestone, very stony soils.

brewing

The harvest begins at the beginning of phenolic maturity, keeping the alcohol content moderate while preserving the acidity essential for the balance of the future wine. Maceration is short, and the wine is left on the lees for six months before clarification.
