Domaine Derey Freres Fixin 1er Cru Les Hervelets 2021 (750ml) *

Fixin sits at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, a village whose Pinot Noir tends toward firmness and dark-fruited structure rather than perfume, and Les Hervelets is one of its premier cru climats. This 2021 from Domaine Derey Freres is red Burgundy in that idiom, a wine built on the Pinot Noir that defines the Côte de Nuits, where the grape gives its most structured, ageworthy expression.
