Description
Domaine du Clos des Fées unveils a 100% Tempranillo wine, produced in IGP Côtes Catalanes
The producer
Voted France’s Best Young Sommelier at the age of 21, Hervé Bizeul fell in love with the enchanting landscapes of Vingrau, in the Pyrenees Orientales part of the Roussillon region. Restaurant owner, writer and passionate about soils and vines, Hervé Bizeul founded the Domaine du Clos des Fées with his wife in 1997. Over the years, the Domaine du Clos des Fées has become a reference among the finest Roussillon wines. Expressing the uniqueness of their terroir, these exceptional and seductive wines showcase both intensity and balance all while promisinig a great ageing potential.
The vineyard
Spread over 30 hectares of vines and divided into 112 plots, the Clos des Fées estate overlooks a real patchwork of soils and vineyards, that are managed in a sustainable manner.
The wine
Produced in the IGP Côtes Catalanes appellation, Le Chat du Marquis 2020 is the latest innovation by the Domaine du Clos des Fées. Its name refers to the tales, particularly Puss in Boots, that remind Hervé Bizeul of this childhood.
The vinification and ageing
The wine is vinified and aged in large 250-litre Stockinger barrels.
The blend
The Le Chat du Marquis 2020 by the Clos des Fées is a 100% Tempranillo, a Spanish grape variety that is mainly grown in Spain.
