Tasting notes
The 2019 Fixin Les Arvelets 1er Cru has a lovely, perfumed bouquet of raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and is quite elegant in context of the season. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a little softness around the edges, auguring a more approachable Premier Cru. Hints of black olive and brown spices emerge toward the finish. This is a lovely, lilting Gevrey-like Fixin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

There is sufficient reduction to mask the underlying fruit today. Otherwise there is excellent underlying tension and beautiful delineation to the medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the refined, linear and focused finale. This is a strikingly well-balanced Arvelets of finesse. (90-92)/2027+
The 2019 Fixin Les Arvelets 1er Cru contains around 35% whole bunches. Despite a bit of reduction, it has a superb bouquet with vibrant black fruit mixed with crushed limestone. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity, quite structured and compact towards the finish with a hint of brine on the aftertaste. A solid and firm Fixin, this deserves cellaring for several years.
