While we all enjoy the secretive aspect of knowing a region is remarkably better than its reputation, or lack thereof, it's about time that the wines of Fixin, and more importantly those of Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet are given their due. Amelie Berthaut is the newest and brightest generation to run the house that is the marriage of former Domaines Denis Berthaut and François Gerbet, where the family roots dig back several centuries within the village.

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet

A fresh, charming face in the wine world, the mid-30s Amelie took over at just 25; she burst onto the scene just as she had burst back into the family estate after her schooling, offering brilliant insight and passion right away, encouraging her father to hand her the reins. 

As her time in charge lengthens, the now fully-organic domaine has captivated all that have tasted the wines; there is a definite signature to Amelie's wines, and I wouldn't venture to say that it is one of any particular taste or aroma, but one of feel - they are stylish, elegant, airy even, in the best way possible. Fixin lies somewhere between Gevrey and Chambolle for me in terms of its style - red fruit, yes, but this floral, pink-fruited component that is unmistakable. Yet that finesse, that feel is felt throughout her wines from the Vosne and elsewhere. 

In the winery, Amelie will ferment in concrete before moving the wines into oak barrels that generally are between 0-25% new; the retaining of whole clusters will be up to 60%, and though rare, sometime none at all. There is no rubric to making the wine, but in her deep, cold cellar they mature incredibly slowly which helps to account for, what was it? Oh, that feel.

Already bottled, the 2022 Fixin Les Crais derives from stony, alluvial soils that always produce a charming, demonstrative style of wine, and that's the case this year. Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, berries and plums mingled with orange zest and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and perfumed, with a suave, succulent profile that belies its aging potential.

The 2022 Fixin Les Crais was taken from tank and contains around 30% stems, which impart darker fruit than the Les Clos: blackberry and raspberry, more sous-bois character here. The medium-bodied palate has pliant tannins, fleshy and beautifully balanced with cashmere tannins and a dab of white pepper and clove towards the finish. More Premier than Village Cru in quality.
