Fixin, Clos du Chapitre, 1er Cru, Frére et Soeurs, 2019

Stylish velvet-textured fruit covers the palate - full, svelte, dark berry flavours of bramble, blueberry and creme de mure. There is substance and richness but without being too forceful. Classy, deep Fixin. From high quality parcels on the slopes at the bottom of the le Clos and Les Herbues hills, perhaps more worthy of Premier Cru status. Along with Marsannay this ages for less time in oak barriques than the other Meo Camuzet wines, between a maximum of 10 to 12 months, and there is very little new oak to preserve the charming fruity freshness of the wine.
