2008 Fixin, Clos de la Perrière, Domaine Joliet

Fixin, Clos de la Perriere, Domaine Joliet
Picked in October 2008, then matured for 34 months in barrel. Light but pretty colour with lots of perfume, some rose petal, clean and pure. A tannin or two behind but not aggressive. Pretty roses and raspberry fruit comes back behind. Absolutely delicious now but with good keeping potential.

Various early wine authorities in the 19th century singled out Clos de la Perrière as an exceptional vineyard, Dr Lavalle (1855) noting it as a Tête de Cuvée making wines which kept for longer than any others of the Côte d’Or. Though attempts to have it classified as Perrière-Chambertin in the 1930s failed, Bénigne is about to start work on a dossier to propose Clos de la Perrière as a grand cru now. Up to 10,000 bottles are made each vintage, with young vines being declassified into village Fixin. There is a small amount of white made as well from the coolest part of the vineyard.Domaine Joliet
