Berthaut
Having taken over from her father, Amelie Berthaut has embarked on an energetic campaign of modernisation in both the vineyards and the cellar. Her aim of doing for Fixin what the likes of Bruno Clair and Sylain Pataille achieved in promoting Marsannay
The wines are modern and clearly defined with well-structured red Fixin as well as elegant, forward white. Despite having access to vines in Vosne Romanee including a plot of Echezeaux, her passion is for Fixin and the remarkable quality for this relatively obscure region is proof of her devotion.
With a new winery and a clear goal in mind, she is well on the way to putting her home appellation on the map and with the extra blessing of rave reviews from Neal Martin, a new star of the Cote de Nuits is on the rise.

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Fixin Les Crais, which includes 20% stems addition, sports dark berry fruit like the Les Clos, touches of iodine and violet, showing just a little more amplitude by comparison. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, very harmonious with lovely salinity. This feels very cohesive with a persistent finish. As good Fixin gets basically. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2016 Fixin Village was taken from foudres that had been racked one month earlier. There is no new oak on this cuvée. It has a crisp redcurrant and cranberry-scented bouquet with a hint of wet clay coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, crisp acidity, quite linear at the moment with a tightly knit, lightly spiced finish. This is a worthy follow-up to the 2015. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques is one of the most expressive wines in this range. The inclusion of 40% whole clusters lends an extra dimension of aromatic lift and nuance. Sweet red cherry, crushed rocks and mint liven up the finish in an absolutely impeccable wine loaded with pedigree. Readers who can find the 2013 should not hesitate, as it is terrific. |

Vinous (91)The 2020 Fixin En Combe Roy is very cohesive and focused, demonstrating a little more control than the Les Crais by direct comparison. The palate is full of red plummy fruit with hints of brown spices, fine weight with a lovely feisty finish. This is well-worth seeking out. |

Burghound (90)This is aromatically similar to the Les Crais though with the addition of a discreet dollop of wood. There is a bit more volume and power to the medium-bodied flavors that flash ample minerality on the moderately austere finale that delivers first-rate depth and persistence. This excellent and ageworthy effort is a classic Fixin and very much worth your interest. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a blend of three parcels, though 50% is Au Combe de Dessus. With 20% new oak, it has an attractive wild strawberry and red plum bouquet. Impressive focus. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-tuned tannins, quite vibrant and lively, orange rind and touches of black pepper furnishing the finish. Give this a year or two in bottle. |
