Fixin Clos du Chapitre Premier Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This parcel of 4.39 acres is situated on a moderate slope with southeast exposure and is one of the best-known and highly regarded terroirs in Fixin, a village just north of Gevrey-Chambertin. This village is often overlooked yet provides strong quality / price opportunities for powerful red wines.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This is a deeply colored and sturdy red wine with solid structure and significant tannins to suggest a long aging potential. Aromas include bing cherries and black fruits with a tantalizing long finish.
