Domaine du clos des Fées "Aimer rêver prier se taire" (Pinot Noir) red 2025

Technical sheet prepared by the domaine:

Grape variety: 15% Pinot Noir.

Soils: Red and black clay on the arid, steep hillside with a due-north exposure in the lieu-dit "Cabrils" (in the commune of Tautavel).

Vines: Harvested at the beginning of the phenolic ripeness plateau, generally between 15 August and 25 August, in order to preserve the acidity essential to the wine’s future balance. 

Vinification: Short pre-fermentation maceration in small stainless-steel vats at low temperature, with gentle punch-downs and moderate pump-overs. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts.

Ageing: 8 to 10 months in one-wine-old Burgundy pièces.

Tasting: A brilliant ruby wine, allowing light to pass through. Complex nose, combining ripe yet crisp red fruit with herbaceous, almost root-like notes. Hints of blackberry, raspberry coulis, morello cherry, and finely integrated oak. Dense, distinguished palate, powerful yet without heaviness, still tightly knit. Flesh, depth, present tannins, exceptional grain. A racy, smoky, virile finish, with a certain austerity indicating significant ageing potential.
