Tasting notes
(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.

The 2015 Fixin Village is a blend of four small parcels, fermented in concrete with malolactic fermentation in barrel with no new oak. It has a clean and precise bouquet with dark cherries, blackcurrant fruit with a touch of bergamot. I admire the precision here - this is very focused for a village cru. The palate is very well balanced, laden with crunchy red fruit, cranberry and redcurrant notes matched with a keen thread of acidity. The finish sports very good structure and there is great precision on the finish. This is Fixin that punches above its weight.
