Le Clos des Fées - IGP Côtes Catalanes L'apprentie Sorcière rosé 2023
89+/100
Robert Parker
"This rosé vintage is enchanting!"
The Apprentice Sorceress is made from old Carignan vines combined with young Grenache Noir vines. A clear, bright wine, its nose is fragrant with red fruits, pink grapefruit, and lychee. Its palate is round, smooth, and rich, with a spicy, taut finish. Fresh and perfectly thirst-quenching!

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.
