2021 Fixin En Combe Roy, Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet
Dry | Red | Still | 13%
If Les Crais is her father’s cuvée, then this is Amélie’s. The wine used to go into their village blend, but Amélie has been bottling it separately since 2013. The vines are now 70 years old, and she likes to use a little whole bunch in the blend. Only 3 barrels were made in 2021. It is a wine of handsome proportions, with tender, yet concentrated, red and even some black fruit, savoury spiced tannins, and a long, fine, saline finish.
