Pierre Gelin Fixin 1er Cru Les Hervelets 2017
Wines from Fixin are typified by their robust, tannic, and sometimes “sauvage” character. This Fixin premier cru was completely de-stemmed and aged for 20-24 months in 25% new Burgundian pièce. Les Hervelets often shows a bit more nuance and finesse than a typical Fixin wine.

Colour

A beautiful deep garnet-red.

Bouquet

The nose is immediate, superb, very pinot, very "classy". Slightly spicy, it expresses original notes of candied oranges or orange liqueur.

Flavour

In the mouth, the tasting begins with discretion and finesse. Good acidity provides depth, stimulates the taste buds. The racy, assertive tannins, tamed by long, careful ageing, add to the wine's power and produce a compact, textured wine.

Pairing

Jugged hare, game birds, a Burgundy cheese platter.
