The Wine Advocate 88/100
Notes of red berries, spices and smoke introduce the 2022 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge, a medium-bodied, pure and melting wine that's fleshy, fine-boned and mineral.
Amélie Berthaut has presided over this Fixin reference point for the better part of a decade now, uniting the vineyards of the Domaine Denis Berthaut on her father's side and Domaine François Gerbet on her mother’s. This enterprise now encompasses some 16 hectares, with Amélie's husband Nicolas Faure overseeing the vineyards. Soils are cultivated mechanically, and treatments are largely organic. In the winery, vinification incorporates increasing percentages of whole bunches, with less extraction and tannin than in yesteryear, emphasizing suavity and perfume. Back in 2019, I wrote that all the stars are aligned at this address, and that prophesy certainly appears to be coming true.
