You'll also find our vintages in stock on the site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>La petite Sib\u00e9rie - Vin de France<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As mentioned above, Petite Sib\u00e9rie is surely the estate's most emblematic cuv\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The parcel is just over two hectares in size, but only half of it is cultivated with vines. Old Grenache vines are planted on clay-limestone and schist soil. A great deal of work is carried out on the vines to achieve exceptional ripeness and concentration. The wine is blended with a Mourv\u00e8dre\/Syrah blend ranging from 5 to 7% depending on the vintage. The wine is then aged in new barrels. The wine is powerful and structured. Notes of garrigue dominate aromas of black fruits and spices. It's essential to wait 10 years before opening a bottle of Petite Sib\u00e9rie. For the more patient, 20-30 years will bring out nuances of cold tobacco and herbaceous notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A great dish is needed to accompany this magnificent wine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> Red meat: ribeye, rib steak, flank steak, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Nice meat pairing also with C\u00f4tes \u00e0 l'os, matured meat <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Or even a wild boar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Modeste - C\u00f4tes Catalanes<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This cuv\u00e9e is made for lovers of glouglou wines. It's a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourv\u00e8dre. Its terroir allows for slightly higher yields, resulting in a supple, rounded wine. Notes of fresh fruit and Morello cherries suggest a wine for sharing:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Perfect for an aperitif, yet...<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Les Sorci\u00e8res du Clos des F\u00e9es - C\u00f4tes du Roussillon<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This cuv\u00e9e is a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 20% Carignan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Syrah is rather young, while the Grenache and Carignan come from a selection of old vines between 40 and 80 years old. Vat-ageing and controlled concentration ensure rapid drinkability. The wine is supple and full-bodied, with notes of black fruit. The ideal wine for : <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">start an aperitif <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Charcuterie platter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">antipasti<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #cc9900; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Clos des F\u00e9es, Grenache blanc vieilles vignes - C\u00f4tes Catalanes<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Attention, super vintage! Not that the others aren't good, but this one has a little something extra. It's a blend of 90% Grenache blanc and 10% Grenache gris, all over 100 years old. Like the other white cuv\u00e9e, the grapes are harvested in the morning, by refrigerated truck. Pressing is slow. The wine is then aged in barrel on lees for 5 to 8 months. The wine is rich and powerful, with notes of juicy fruit, apricot with a possible impression of sweetness, even when dry. A wide range of pairings are possible: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">With beautiful river fish <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">or Mediterranean fish. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you prefer to enjoy the wine with a cold dish, noble shellfish, lobster or prawns are a perfect match.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #cc9900; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Les Sorci\u00e8res du Clos des F\u00e9es - C\u00f4tes du Roussillon<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This time in white, Herv\u00e9 Bizeul decided to blend young Vermentino and Roussanne vines. From the early morning harvest, to the light, direct pressing, right through to bottling. Everything is done to create a light, thirst-quenching wine. Notes of exotic fruit and a fresh finish are the perfect aromas to accompany : <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">a seasonal salad <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">a mozzarella tomato\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Burrata<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #212121; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8124\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/reassurance-email.jpg\" alt=\"wine conservation\" width=\"750\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/reassurance-email.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/reassurance-email-690x206.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">? \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>The estate offers other interesting cuv\u00e9es to try, based on Pinot Noir or other typical southern grape varieties.
