Tasting notes
The flagship is the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fées and in 2015 it’s a blend of 50% Syrah, 20% each of Grenache and Carignan, and the rest Mourvèdre. It shows more Syrah character with its smoky, meaty black fruits, crushed rocks, resinous herbs, and garrigue aromas and flavors. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it shows the more elegant, focused style of the vintage and stays lively and fresh on the palate. Possessing good acidity, fine tannin, and a great finish, it will benefit from another year or two in bottle and keep for over a decade.

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.
