Le Clos des Fées - IGP Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes blanc 2022
90/100
Robert Parker
This Vieilles Vignes white is a cuvée made from the estate's oldest vines (over 100 years old) in the "Mas Farines" area. It is a wine that opens generously with aromas of peach, almond blossom, and broom. The palate is rich, fruity, and fresh, in a proudly Mediterranean style. A very nice white wine from Roussillon!

About the estate:
Hervé Bizeul, winemaker and rebellious writer, has little left to prove, as his estate is among the elite of Roussillon. That doesn't stop him from continually questioning himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. This is particularly evident in his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely faces the harsh sun and tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée has its own distinct personality, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. No fewer than seven different terroirs give rise to a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
