100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

A superb dark color. A nose with ripe cherry flavors and woody notes. A beautiful finesse which follows on a mouth with density, and which offers notes of red fruits and vanilla.

More About The Winery

Founded in 1998 by Hervé Bizeul — former “Best Young Sommelier of France,” wine journalist, and Paris wine bar owner — Domaine du Clos des Fées has become one of the most acclaimed estates in Roussillon. What began with a small, garage-made vintage quickly turned into an international success story, with the wines now sought after by collectors worldwide.

The domaine’s vineyards stretch across diverse terroirs, up to 15 km apart, with exposures and soils ranging from granite to limestone. Many plots feature century-old vines, hand-harvested and farmed with a philosophy of respect for nature.

With plantings focused on Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Grenache Blanc, and Grenache Gris, Clos des Fées produces wines of remarkable depth, concentration, and finesse. Ageing in oak barriques and bottling without filtration further enhances their character and authenticity.

100% Gamay 

Tasting notes

Ruby color with violet hue. To the nose, red berries aromas, blackcurrant, with a hint of licorice. Fruity in mouth, supple, refined. 

More About The Winery

Located in the heart of Beaujolais, Domaine du Clos du Fief is a 17-hectare family estate now led by Sylvain Tête, who returned after formative experiences at Château Thivin and Domaine Saumaize. Bringing fresh energy and vision, he works with permanent cover crops, under-vine cultivation, and small chenillard engines to farm even the steepest slopes with care and precision.

In the cellar, Sylvain remains true to Beaujolais tradition, employing semi-carbonic macerations and submerged caps, techniques that highlight the finesse and fruit purity of Gamay while ensuring structure and balance.

The wines of Clos du Fief are gaining attention for their authenticity, terroir expression, and ageing potential. As noted by William Kelley (The Wine Advocate):
"These new releases show considerable promise, highlighting the progress that has been made in the last few years, and it's clear that this is a domaine to watch."

Tasting notes

The 2019 Saint-Amour ‘Les Capitans’ from Domaine du Clos du Fief is a charming and refined Beaujolais Cru, displaying a deep ruby color with violet highlights. The nose is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of red berries, blackcurrant, and a subtle hint of licorice.

On the palate, the wine is fruity, supple, and elegant, supported by bright acidity and a medium-length finish. Beneath its juicy exterior lies a well-structured core, with a slightly dry edge that promises to soften beautifully with age.

A graceful and balanced Saint-Amour, ideal for drinking now or cellaring over the next few years to reveal further depth.
