Note di degustazione
The 2017 Fixin Les Arvelets 1er Cru has a taut, well-defined nose of black cherries, wild strawberry, sous-bois and a touch of smoke, very focused and full of energy. The palate is well balanced with sappy red berry fruit and a little oakier than necessary, but there is sufficient fruit to absorb that. Slightly meaty toward the finish. I will be optimistic and suggest that this will improve with bottle age. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Much more transparent and readable than the Fixin les Crais. Pretty good! Polished with lots of dramatic fruit. (JR)
The 2017 Fixin Les Arvelets 1er Cru comes from almost a hectare of vine that is being partially replanted at the moment. The bouquet was reduced at the time of my visit and thus difficult to read. The palate feels quite masculine and structured, but very fresh and slightly confit toward the latter half, with veins of blood orange. I suspect that this will require three years in bottle to fully meld together, but there is clearly great potential.
