The 2015 Fixin from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is a village-level red Burgundy that highlights the quality of the 2015 vintage and the producer`s elegant style. The wine is a blend of Pinot Noir from four different lieux-dits within the Fixin appellation, with the largest holding being the Les Crais vineyard, where Berthaut-Gerbet has a 1.3ha parcel. Other parcels contributing to the blend include Fixey, Le Village and La Vionne. The 2015 vintage in Burgundy was marked by warm, dry conditions, which resulted in wines with a rich, generous character and a supple texture. This wine expresses the vintage`s fruit-forward nature while maintaining the classic, rustic charm of the Fixin terroir.
Vinous
(this blend of four parcels had been racked and assembled in a large foudre a few weeks before my visit; totally destemmed): Bright ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of kirsch, blackberry and dark chocolate hint at an exotic quality. Almost too sweet on the palate, showing liqueur-like flavors of black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, violet and tropical dark chocolate. A bit more classic on the back end, finishing with a fine dusting of tannins and good length. Stephen Tanzer1st January 2017
