WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine du Clos des Fées Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker Hervé Bizeul. The wine comes from the Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with a mix of soils, including schist and granite, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process is meticulous, with hand-harvested grapes and careful aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect representation of the region's style and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine du Clos des Fées Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages Les Sources is a delightful expression of the terroir of Roussillon.Aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and spice combine with flavors of dark cherry and earth on the palate. The texture is soft and velvety, and the finish is long and lingering. A beautiful and balanced wine with excellent depth and complexity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine du Clos des Fées

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
