Clos des Fées - Vielles Vignes 2018
The Domaine du Clos des Fées is located in Côtes-du-Roussillon, at the foot of the Pyrenees. It was created by Hervé Bizeul in 1997, to live fully his passion for wine. From April 1999, his wines were sold “en primeur”. The vineyard increased a little, he had 7 hectares in production but only 15,000 bottles due to small yields. Today, the Domaine du Clos des Fées vineyard covers 30 hectares: 27.5 hectares planted in red and 2.5 hectares planted in white. The estate is considered to be No. 1 in Roussillon.
Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a blend of the oldest vines on the estate (50 to 100 years-old): 50% Grenache et Lledoner Pelut, 35% Carignan and 15% Syrah. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, sorted in the vineyard and after destemming. A short pre-fermentary cold maceration is carried out in stainless steel vats, with daily punching down and pumping over. The wine is aged without racking for 12 months in 1-and-2-years-old barrels, as well as traditional cement tanks.
