說明

THE Domaine of Clos Fairies, under the impetus of Hervé Bizeul, proposes with la cuvée "A faun with his fife" (in red version, 2018 vintage) a fascinating and "northern" interpretation of the Catalan terroir.

While the white is already a gem, the red is particularly famous for its atypical blend in Roussillon: here, there is no Syrah or Grenache, but a marriage of Cabernet Franc (majority at approximately 80%) and Merlot.
