Bright ripe with a tang that reaches the way back sides of your tongue.
Smells of greens and yellows - Smokey green herbs and sliced yellow starfruit.
Has a fleshy, creamy texture sitting under sour tropical fruits - tastes like key lime pie and mango sorbet and candied Limoncello. — 5 years ago
An especially salty, lean, Irancy with beautiful aromatics and concentration. Vauthier blurs the borders of Gang Beaujolais and Burgundy. The nose is both reductive and seductive - raspberries and strawberries, spiced orange with perfumed iodine. Big tannins from whole cluster Pinot - it could soften it edges but still enjoyed to the last of it. — 6 years ago

Frais, ce boit facilement, plus cote floral que minéral. Bien que celle en cave avait été achetée lors d’un courrier vinicoles en 2020, celle-ci fut d’un arrivage enligne il y a 2 semaines — 5 years ago
A little VA leading to bright fruit. Light and drinkable. Great with a bit of a chill. — 6 years ago
I think Denis Berthaut's impact on Fixin is invaluable. He showed how an often overlooked terrior can produce truly elegant and transparent wines. This mantra and his mantle has been passed down to his very capable daughter, Amelie, and it's been up, up, up ever since. I'm a big fan of Amelie's wines!
2013 is Amelie's first vintage and her changes are clear - more oak, stems, and supposedly warmer ferments resulted in deeper, more complex wines. And it's constantly changing as she finds her stride. This is especially obvious in this cuvee.
The 13' Les Arvelets is a little richer than their newer iterations, which is reasonable given the difficult vintage - it was a late harvest due to the rain. Darker fruit, but crystal clear. The palate's really crunchy, pure fruit, herbal elements... think cincau... deep minerality, fine fine texture, lovely acidity. In a way like Serena Williams... There's a strong nearly brutal element, yet undeniably feminine (cliché I know but oh so true) and elegant. I do prefer more recent vintages of this vineyard, but this was excellent... Such a balanced wine!
I said it before and I'll say it again... Amelie's the next big thing, if not already one. The viti is more thoughtful than ever... Winemaking so detailed and smart. The sheer potential here... Especially with her mother's Gevry, Chambolle, and Vosne vineyards now under her sleeves... And her incredibly talented fiancé, Nicolas Faure, managing the domaine's vineyeards 🔝🔝🔝 — 8 years ago
