Domaine du Clos des Fees
Fairytale magic or eye for the main chance, Hervé Bizeul’s star is certainly in the ascendant. A former sommelier, restaurateur and food and wine pundit, he left the boulevards of Paris for the wild tracts of Roussillon in 1998 to chance the life of vigneron. Six years on he is the talk of the region, his wines fetching an incredible price and the aptly named Domaine du Clos des Fées (fée meaning fairy in French) more than truly launched.
“法語中,Clos意指由牆包圍起來的小型葡萄園。而La Fee代表有著超自然力的仙子,常以其魔杖幫助他人。如果真有仙子,那麼仙子酒莊就是其棲身之處。它雖偏遠但風光迷人,保持著原始風貌和洋溢著浪漫氣息,這正是我們為其取名的靈感之源。當我第一次踏入這片葡萄園的時候,就下定決心買下它,因為我感受到了這片土地具有實現我夢想的潛力。”-Hervé Bizeul, former "France's best young sommelier, wine journalist & restaurateur.
