Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France

Winemaker Notes

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. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Les Hervelets often shows a bit more nuance and finesse than a typical Fixin wine.

Wine Enthusiast – 92 Points

Lifted by fresh, green thyme and basil notes, Les Hervelets offers a bright, almost crunchy black-fruit expression that’s invigorating. A touch more finessed and angular than the producer’s rounder, meatier village-level Fixin, the wine has blackberry and plum flavors edged by hints of granite, licorice and rose petals. Fine-grained but firm tannins mark the finish.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
