Clos des Fées - The Witches 2022
The Domaine du Clos des Fées is located in the Côtes-du-Roussillon , at the foot of the Pyrenees. It was created by Hervé Bizeul in 1997, to fully live out his passion for wine. From April 1999, his wines were sold en primeur. The vineyard is growing a little, it has 7 hectares in production but only 15,000 bottles due to low 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 Domaine is considered the No. 1 in Roussillon .
Les Sorcières du Clos des Fées is a blend of Syrah (50%), Grenache (30%) and Carignan (20%) . Grenache and Carignan come from old vines between 40 and 80 years old, and Syrah comes from young vines less than 25 years old. The harvest is manual then a pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature in stainless steel vats of 128 hectoliters with daily pumping over is put in place. The macerations last from 15 to 21 days with a gentle extraction. The malolactic fermentation is complete. The wine is then aged in vats, on fine lees for 8 months . A very light dose of sulfur is added at bottling.
Grapes: 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Carignan
