2023 "Maison Lou Dumont Fixin 1er Cru ""Les Hervelets"""

This Premier Cru from Fixin's rugged slopes offers robust Pinot Noir with Les Hervelets' iron-rich clay lending structure and minerality. Aromas evoke blackberries, graphite, and wild herbs, with smoky bacon hints emerging. The palate impresses with dense fruit, grippy tannins, and refreshing acidity, building to a persistent, earthy finish after extended oak maturation. Lou Dumont's minimal-intervention winemaking honors the site's wild character while ensuring elegance. Pair with lamb, stews, or grilled meats; age 8-15 years to soften its brawn into profound complexity.
