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 (90)(bottled in February of 2017; production here was no higher than in 2016 owing to drought in '15): Dark red-ruby. Sweet black cherry and spices on the nose and palate. Lovely juicy, easygoing wine with good depth of texture--and nothing rustic about it. Finishes with serious but smooth tannins and noteworthy length. I like the combination of strong phenolic material and energy. Berthaut told me that she has no idea how the '15s will age, pointing out that her first vintage was 2013. |

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. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a light nose with red berry fruit and light tertiary scents. Initially, it suggests a shortfall in complexity and vigour, yet after ten minutes, it coheres nicely and gains bags of charm. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins. Crisp and sapid, this offers tightly coiled red fruit that conveys a sense of energy. Bright and tensile on the finish, this is a Clos de Vougeot that I end up admiring. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

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 (93-95)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits-Monts 1er Cru has more intensity and slightly darker fruit compared to the Les Suchots, but it shares the same enthralling delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This displays exquisite balanced, a little tight on the finish but it is supremely well focused with a very persistent, lightly peppered finish courtesy of the 20% whole bunches. Wonderful. |
