Tasting notes
The domaine's regular 2020 Fixin Village has turned out nicely, exhibiting aromas of sweet cherries and berries complemented by hints of smoke and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with tangy acids and sweet tannins, it's a strong introduction to the domaine and the commune.

Alluvial loam; 0.5 hectares, vines planted 2009–2015. Fermentation in oak barrels, 12-month élevage. Citrus, apple, pear. There’s some weight to the fruit, but it seems a bit simple to me at the moment. (MH)
The 2020 Fixin Village is complex on the nose considering this is a Village Cru: redcurrant, briary, sous-bois and light truffle scents. This is very fragrant. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a dab of sour cherry on the finish. Delightful.
