TASTING NOTES 

 

A rich assortment of  red  fruit  aromas with excellent  depth,  balance  and  vivacity on the palate. Fixin is an under the radar appellation in the northern reaches of Bourgogne that typically, is quite cool thereby a source of fresh, textbook Bourgognes in otherwise very warm vintages like 2019.

63 -year old vines located  mid-slope  on  the  north side  of  the  village  of  Fixin on clay and limestone. Manual harvesting, 60% whole clusters with 18  months in 40% new oak barrels.

In 2020, Derey Frères took the first steps to become a fully organic operation. This is a three-year process, in which the estate will put in place new methods to better protect the natural environment - from the vineyards to the winery. The end goal is a combination of “organic farming and common sense”, and a better relationship between the industry and the environment. This will culminate with the 2023 vintage, which will be the first to be fully certified as organic. The HVE (High Environmental Value) certification is the first step in the process.
