Tasting notes
(tasted from tank; these old, millerandé vines, which Berthaut has vinified separately since 2013, are situated on shallow, well-drained soil just below the premier crus of Fixin; vinified with 40% whole clusters): Dark red with ruby tones. Lovely floral, high-pitched nose. Then sweet, supple and plush in the mouth, with a touch of mineral lift to its flavors of black cherry, mocha and clove. Conveys an attractive rocky freshness without any hard edges. Finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. Should make an excellent Fixin villages .

The 2016 Fixin en Combe Roy includes around 40% whole bunch fruit. It has a clean and fresh bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, wet stone and a hint of orange blossom. The palate is very well balanced, and the whole bunch is well disguised, merely lending more freshness and tension on the sorbet-fresh finish. Excellent.
