Domaine Clos des Fees - Cotes du Roussillon Le Clos des Fees 2015
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"Eighteen months in new French oak barrels has given the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fées a certain tightness and discipline lacking in the Vieilles Vignes bottling. There's still massive fruit and buried complexity, full body and rich tannins, but there's also firmness of structure that shows the serious, age-worthy side of Bizeul's winemaking. Vanilla and baking spices accent deep, dark cherries and plums, ending in a long, velvety finish."
Wine Enthusiast
A blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Carignan and 15% Syrah from 50–100 year-old vines, there's a gamy top note to the nose of this wine, grounded by scents of red plum, cherry, allspice, bay and lavender. The palate is smooth and satiny, with fine tannins that show surprising length and intensity on the close, which culminates in notes of white pepper and tea. Drink now–2025.
