Domaine Derey Fixin 1er Cru 'Les Hervelets' 2022
The Wine
90-93 Pts Alan Meadows, Burghound 'Top Value - A very pungent nose combines notes of wood toast and firm reduction. Much more interesting are the sleek, refined and energetic medium weight flavors that brim with minerality as well as a similar level of focused power that carries over to the youthfully austere finish that is both beautifully balanced and delivers the best length in the range.'
89-92 Points Jasper Morris MW 'Crimson to purple. A mild but temporary reduction, which does not quite hide the obvious class behind. This is beautiful on the palate, a couple of strawberry notes, with dark raspberry. Fully ripe, but holds together and finishes with a little Gevrey feel. At least half whole bunches. A little bit ill-disciplined at the moment but lots to play with. Drink from 2029-2035.
