Fixin Clos du Chapitre Premier Cru 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This is an important recent acquisition by Jadot, hence the Domaine Louis Jadot indication. 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.
Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
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 an earthy foundation note. Acidity is bright and adds length to the finish.
