The village-level Fixin from Berthaut-Gerbet is an alluring wine with a pronounced blackberry fruit aroma and hints of earth and fresh flowers. A vibrant acidity enlivens the texture, yet there is no lack of density or silky tannin here, and the balance between these elements carries the wine to an impressive finish for this level. The grapes are assembled from five climats: Clos de Fixey, Clos du Village, Aux prés, La Sorgentière, and La Vionne; the total surface area is 2.50 hectares. (Drink between 2027-2055)
Has a lot more weight than the Hautes-Côtes. Distinctly chunky and chewy. But there is a lovely purity to the fruit here. Dark-berry and cherry in character. Fine line of acidity keeps everything in check. Tannins are a bit more to the fore – typical of Fixin. But there is no hurry to drink this. Will be even more delicious in a couple of years. Drinking window: 2025-2030
