6 Bottles Albert Bichot Clos de la Perrière Monopole Fixin 1er Cru 2020 750ml

Pinot Noir from Fixin, Cote de Nuits, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France

Notes from the Winemaker

The nose features notes of black cherry and wild strawberries. Ample and very fine, it offers silky tannins. Its mineral hints remind the characteristics of the soil it comes from. The natural maturity of the fruit is balanced by the freshness of this terroir of altitude.

Reviews and Accolades

92 Points/Vinous
The 2019 Fixin Clos de la Perrière 1er Cru is harvested several times to create a mix of different plots around this monopole. I found this very reduced on the nose when I tasted it at Bichot. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, and well balanced, offering dark berry fruit laced with clove and bay leaf. Elegant on the finish. I am positive this will evolve into a fine Fixin.

92 Points/ Wine Enthusiast
From a wholly owned, walled vineyard, this wine offers richness as well as good acidity in its red-cherry fruits. Backed by wood aging, the wine has density and a poise that will allow it to age well.
