Named after the boys' grandpa, Albert, who planted this vineyard in the 1950s. This is actually in Marsannay and so could be Pinot Noir but they have not pulled out this gorgeous small plot - just a 1/4 of a hectare of A...(read more)

From younger vines 2016-2018, lower down in Couchey and Marsannay, in bottle since May. Glowing purple, an exuberant nose, with abundant juicy dark berry fruit energy. All destemmed. A large jug of this would go down han...(read more)

The Marsannay blanc comes from 3 plots, all on limestone. There is sophisticated texture here and a real open charm. Fresh and bright - but just enough supple fruit around the middle. Satisfying stuff.

Once again the nose is firmly reduced even though the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is also sleek, fresh and vibrant while exhibiting acceptable depth and persistence on the finer if even more austere fi...(read more)

This is also reduced but with even better freshness and intensity on the sleek, well-detailed and more concentrated flavors that offer better depth and persistence on the mildly austere finale. This is quite good for its...(read more)

A vineyard in the north east sector of Fixin, on clay and blue marl - very old vines planted by the boys' grandfather in the early 1960s. They use 20-25% whole bunches here, and are careful with the extraction as it's in...(read more)

Still in barrel. Medium deep purple. This is more discreet than Vignes Marie but will have additional finesse. Currently backward, because not yet racked. Stylish and with both weight and length. I am impressed with this...(read more)

Romain used 100% whole bunches here for the first time on a limestone soil. Rich volume, a mid-palate sucrosity and a plummy depth - and then a saline lift from the whole bunches. The vines are a massal selection from Po...(read more)

Romain explains that 'Champ Perdrix' or 'field of partridges' almost certainly comes from the rather less picturesque 'champ pierreux' or 'stony field'. It's quite a common name for vineyards on the Côte...(read more)

From the middle of the hill, red soils, clay at the bottom, limestone at the top, planted in 1956. 'Power - the deep side of Fixin', says Romain. 60% whole bunches, 25% new wood. Rich, cool and suave. The tannic structur...(read more)

A fuller more even red than the Fixins. This has a suave supple texture which is really appealing. It comes from Craite Paille below La Justice, hence more strawberry in the fruit mix, typical of this part of Gevrey. Cer...(read more)

A mix of both Arvelets and Hervelets planted up and down the slope by the Fixey church. Fine tannins with higher-toned acidity here but very suave and with extra length. Fine graceful finish. Tasted: August 2020
