Description

A dense and velvety plot-selected IGP Pyrénées Orientales wine

The estate

Voted Best Young Sommelier of France at the age of 21, Hervé Bizeul fell in love with the fairytale landscapes of the majestic Cirque de Vingrau, at the foot of the Pyrenees Orientales, in Roussillon. Restaurateur, writer and passionate for land and vine, Hervé Bizeul founded Domaine du Clos des Fées with his wife in 1997.

Over the years, Domaine du Clos des Fées has become a major name among the finest wine labels in Roussillon. Expressing the singularity of their terroir of origin, these exceptional vintages delight with their intensity and balance while having a great ageing capacity.

The vineyard

A major name among the great Roussillon wines, Domaine du Clos des Fées oversees a 30-hectare vineyard spread across 112 plots on a real mosaic of soils run in a sustainable manner.

The wine

Images Dérisoires 2013 from Domaine du Clos des Fées is a Pyrénées Orientales wine produced from a massal selection of "tinto fino" from one of the best terroirs of the Ribera del Duero and of Carignan located in the area known as "Lou Bac", at an altitude of 300 metres, facing west, at the foot of a cliff facing north/south.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes are harvested after being ripened to the extreme. Destemming, pre-fermentation maceration for a few days. Classic vinification, slow fermentation for about two weeks, with light pumping over and gentle punching down every day. Aged in vats, on lees, with air pumping over to avoid reduction.

Blend

Tempranillo (80%)
Carignan (17%)
Syrah (3%)
