The cuvée “De battre mon cœur s’est arrêté” is not a classic Roussillon wine, although it is produced practically just with Syrah. But this Syrah remains fresh, like the wines of the northern Rhone, in Hermitage or Cornas. It is produced from a parcel of 2.7 hectares bought by the Bizeul family in 2007 with 30-year-old vines. The vinifications are gentle, and the extractions are not too strong, so as not too weigh down the aromas. The élevage takes place in stainless steel vats.

Côtes du Roussillon Clos des Fées De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté Hervé Bizeul serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Boeuf bourguignon, Daube provençale, Foie de veau au vinaigre balsamique.

Information about domain Clos des Fées

Before settling down amid the vines, walls and soil of the Clos des Fées, Hervé Bizeul's peregrinations had been many, flitting around the wine business and the world in general. As a sommelier, as a journalist… but most of all, as a son of this hard ground, with a real pride in Roussillon. It was one day in 1990, looking out onto this desert of scrubland, with its dry stone walls and vines planted in pick-hacked holes amid the green oaks with their twisted branches, that he decided to take his passion for wine to its logical extreme by becoming a wine grower himself. Thanks to his hard work in the vines – but also through his formidable enthusiasm for selling and promoting his wine with a talent for forging links that is somewhat uncommon among growers, who enjoy the solitary company of their vines and can be uneasy with commercial relationships – Bizeul would be quick to find success. And this success would enable him to live comfortably and develop his domain by expanding it through the purchase of parcels of land (both already planted and awaiting plantation), hiring workers, buying increasingly advanced equipment and continuing to tour the wine shows of France and the world, proudly flying the flag of his own wines as well as all the others in his region. But if you think Hervé Bizeul has retired his pen, then think again: today, he is among the most prolific contributors to be found in the blogosphere.
