Côtes du Roussillon Old Vines Clos des Fées Hervé Bizeul 2021 75cl

Reinhard Brundig, tireless ambassador of the 7th art, is a mad wine lover. He bought Courbissac in 2002, he dreams of making wine, he is under the spell of this isolated place lost in the scrubland and the pines. He is renovating the cellar , buys the first tuns and begins to vinify the different parcels of Courbissac.
The construction is slow, you have to review the copy several times, Courbissac cannot be tamed so easily.

In 2013, he sought to renew his style, he wanted fresher, more elegant wines, and it was in November 2013 that he met Brunnhilde Claux.

At the age of 30, Brunnhilde takes over the technical part of the estate, sets up a gentle vinification, in whole bunches.

The aging is more restrained, the wines are more supple, a new page is being written for Courbissac.
And Courbissac surrenders. The wines relax, the freshness wins, a turning point begins in Courbissac.
