2019 | Clos des Fees | Grenache Blanc

Domaine du Clos des Fées is the Roussillon winemaking project of former Parisian sommelier, restaurateur and wine writer, Hervé Bizeul. What initially started as a hobby in the late 90s rapidly became an all-consuming obsession and Hervé now produces some of the most acclaimed wines in the region. The Grenache Blanc Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 90% Grenache Blanc and 10% Grenache Gris from century-old vines in the Côtes Catalanes sub-region. The 2019 offers a palate of stone fruits, tangerine, citrus zest and wild herbs with a steely minerality.

Producer Information

Le Clos des Fées is a wine estate in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It was founded by Hervé Bizeul in 1997 and specializes in the classic wines of this region, namely Côtes du Roussillon, Côtes du Roussillon Villages and Côtes Catalanes.Bizeul, then a sommelier and wine journalist, established the estate with just a few plots of vines and a converted garage for a winery. The first vintage was produced using extremely basic winemaking equipment, including four small tiny resin tanks and cheese-cloths.Over the years Le Clos des Fées has evolved to comprise seven vineyard sites in Vingrau, Tautavel, Maury, Calce, Lesquerde, Opoul and Espira de l'Agly. These vineyards are planted on a diverse range of soil types that vary from limestone to clay to granite, some with pebbles reminiscent of those found in Châteaneuf-du-Pape. These soils, when combined with the wide range of vineyard exposures, provide the ideal growing conditions for Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Franc and even Tempranillo.
