Description

Le Clos des Fées by Hervé Bizeul Côtes du Roussillon old vines, This red Côtes-du-Roussillon in old vines of the field of the closed of the fairies is powerful and very expressive. The color of this wine is dark red, the nose is marked by ripe fruit and sweet spices, the palate is relatively concentrated and the tannins are silky, the aromas perceived on the nose are confirmed in the mouth. Blend of the estate's oldest vines (50 to 100 years old): 50% Grenache and LLadoner Pelut (a mutated Grenache variety characterized by thick skin and velvety appearance), 35% Carignan, 15% Syrah. Clay-limestone soils, majority of hillsides. Work in green important: size in green, disbudding, entrecor, stripping. Grape harvest at perfect maturity. Sorting in the vineyard then after destemming. Transport of grapes in a refrigerated truck. Short maceration pre-fermentation in small stainless steel vats, at low temperature, with pigeages and pumping over daily. Control of temperatures in the hat during the fermentation phase. Maceration from 20 to 25 days, reasoned extractions, slow and soft. Aging 12 months without racking in a wine barrel and two wines, supplemented with an elevated part in traditional concrete vats. Bottled after ripening for 2 months after assembly. Wine naturally concentrated, but without excess, very aromatic. The silky tannins allow immediate pleasure but the wine shows its true potential after 3 years in bottles. Ideal of care: 5 to 10 years.
