Tasting notes
Cask sample. Hefty, woody wine with an element of bitterness on the palate. Feels a little extracted and worked. Good density of fruit. Should soften with a bit of time. Not great value. (AWH)

The 2020 Fixin 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre (Méo-Camuzet Frère & Soeurs) has turned out nicely, exhibiting aromas of cassis, plums and woodsmoke, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's bright and vibrant, with ripe tannins and a penetrating finish.
(from the upper portion of the vineyard). A subtle but not invisible application of wood frames very ripe aromas of poached plum, black currant and earth. The plush, velvety and fleshy medium-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the firm, palate coating and moderately chewy and rustic finale. This robust effort is clearly constructed to age and is a wine that will need at least some forbearance. (89-92)/2032+
