The estate and the wine |
|
|
Bold, outspoken and brilliant, Hervé Bizeul is without doubt one of the most famous and respected winemakers in France. In just 30 years, he has turned Clos des Fées into one of the greatest success stories of the Roussillon.
His artisan work on the majestic limestone amphitheater of Vingrau has produced unforgettable wines — crafted with uncommon precision, combining power and finesse in dazzling balance. Nowhere does the idea of a great southern wine make more sense. |

The 2022 Red Côtes du Roussillon Villages Vieilles Vignes is a true Catalan classic, bursting with floral notes of bay leaf and peony, alongside deep aromas of black fruit and stone fruit. Its refined, fresh style allows the southern character to shine, with a hint of smokiness and perfectly integrated oak adding depth. On the palate, this complexity unfolds beautifully—rich, generous, and structured, with ripe red fruit and firm, well-balanced tannins. A powerful yet harmonious wine, built to age effortlessly for the next decade. A Selection Committee favorite, rated 95/100. |
