Domaine du Clos des Fees La Petite Siberie 2010

100% Grenache from very old bush vines planted in a cold windy slope on a clay limestone base with shale mica-schist and iron. Aged in new oak, only 2000 bottle made. This wine is remarkably dense and will need years to mature and evolve to show its best. Fabulous wine in the making. ‘After having spent 14 months in new barrels, Bizeul’s 2010 Cotes du Roussillon Villages La Petite Siberie delivers strong caramelized resin, vanilla and brown spices up-front, with cocoa powder and smoky black tea further accenting its sweetly ripe, thickly-rich, black raspberry and cherry confiture. That the palate here manages to display such sheer lusciousness and the finish persistent sap and polish is no doubt a tribute to this wine’s sheer density and concentrated ripeness.’
