Clos Des Fées Vieilles Vignes Rouge Hervé Bizeul Côtes Du Roussillon Aoc, 2022

Clos des Fées Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a characterful Roussillon red that showcases the depth and energy of old-vine fruit from one of the region’s most respected producers. The 2022 vintage offers the kind of concentration, authenticity, and Mediterranean warmth that have made Hervé Bizeul’s wines so sought after among lovers of expressive southern French reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep, dark ruby in the glass, this wine typically opens with ripe black fruits, wild herbs, garrigue, and a touch of spice. There is often a savory, earthy edge that reflects the rugged character of Roussillon, balanced by freshness and a polished, concentrated core. On the palate, expect generous dark berry and plum flavors layered with licorice, pepper, and mineral nuance, supported by firm but ripe tannins. The wine is built to age, and while it can be enjoyed for its youthful vibrancy, it should develop added complexity over the next several years.

Production
Sourced from old vines in the Côtes du Roussillon, the wine benefits from the warm, dry Mediterranean climate, poor soils, and natural concentration that define the region. These conditions help produce small, intensely flavored berries with remarkable depth and structure. Vinification is typically focused on preserving purity and terroir expression, with careful harvesting and gentle cellar work to balance ripeness with freshness. The result is a wine that feels both powerful and precise, with the layered complexity that old vines and thoughtful winemaking can deliver.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled lamb, roasted game, duck, slow-cooked beef, ratatouille, or hearty dishes with herbs and olives. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

Producer
Clos des Fées, founded by Hervé Bizeul, has become one of the benchmark names in Roussillon thanks to its focus on old vines, terroir-driven wines, and consistently high quality. Bizeul’s work helped bring international attention to the region, and the estate is widely admired for producing wines of both intensity and finesse.
