Tasting notes by L. Michelet « Burgundia Œnologie »
A medium deep ruby-red colour.
The delicate nose opens with subtle woody and liquorice notes and there is a hint of macerated cherry-stone that expresses the quality of the wine's controlled ageing.
In the mouth the attack is bold, frank and fresh. It has perfectly balanced mellow tannins and a wonderfully refined and elegant texture. This delicate cuvée is an ideal introduction to the Fixin terroir.
Goes well with: duck, quails stuffed with foie gras, lamb tajine, pigeon.
2009 vintage
Tasting notes by L. Michelet « Burgundia Œnologie »
Deep and brilliant garnet red colour.
Very open nose: black fruits, spices, and a slight floral note for refinement.
Very full in the mouth. Good volume associated with liquorice freshness gives it exceptional body for the appellation. The sweet tannins are admirably melted. A touch of minerality brings both depth and a characteristic aroma that delight the taste buds.
Goes well with: fattened chicken, capon, pigeon.
Aging potential : 8/9 years

2008 vintage
Tasting notes by L. Michelet
A brilliant garnet-red colour; the nose opens on wild notes, then discrete woodland sensations appear after aeration.
The attack is fresh and smooth. Then the tartness of summer fruits dominates the tasting. Stone and liquorice stimulate the taste buds in the finish.
Serve with: rabbit, game birds, hard cheeses.

comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
As with most wines of this vintage, this Fixin is endowed with a dark colour with hints of deep purple. Its nose of very ripe and candied fruits, a sign of great maturity, opens progressively.
Its ample and rounded palate is dominated by tannins that are still firm and which should become softer fairly quickly (2 to 3 years).
Goes well with red meat!
Serving temperature: 16°
Preserving: 7/8 years

2002 vintage
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
With its sustained ruby red robe and an exuberant nose of red fruits (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, etc.), this Fixin, both elegant and complex, is a treat for the senses. Its ample and balanced palate retains a notable freshness which enables it to develop under the best conditions. A wine of great quality that goes well with leg of lamb or roast meat.
