Clos des Fées Old Vines 2022 Côtes du Roussillon Villages
The Vieilles Vignes cuvée is the soul of Clos des Fées. A blend of Grenache, Lladoner Pelut, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from vines over 50 years old, this wine is a monument to concentration and freshness. Beneath an impenetrable purple hue, it offers a complex nose of jammed black fruits, Oriental spices, garrigue, and graphite. On the palate, the power is impressive, yet carried by a limestone mineral tension that provides aristocratic directness. The tannins, extremely fine, are smoothed by luxurious aging. This is a masterful aging wine—vibrant and profound—expressing the full magic of the Vingrau cirque. A towering classic of the South.

The Quintessence of Roussillon Hervé Bizeul selects the finest plots for this cuvée, favoring old vines that naturally regulate their yields.
-
Selected Terroirs: The grapes come from quaternary limestone scree and red clay soils. This duality allows for both phenolic ripeness and preserved natural acidity.
-
Uncompromising Winemaking: Long macerations with gentle extraction to achieve richness and texture without harshness.
-
High-Precision Aging: The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels (a mix of new and one-year-old oak). The goal is to refine the tannic structure and add aromatic complexity without ever over-oaking.
