The Wine Advocate 90/100
Already bottled, the 2022 Fixin Village delivers notes of smoky berries, petals and plums, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and suave palate that's seamless, lively and charming. This will drink well with minimal bottle age. 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.
