Albert Bichot : Fixin 1er cru "Clos de la Perrière" Monopole 2017

Produced with purchased grapes, rather than bought-in must or wine, this is an exceptional Fixin from the highest premier cru site in the appellation. It's focused and refined, with racy natural acidity, one-third whole clusters and stylish oak. There's a hint of good reduction and a core of crunchy cranberry and red cherry fruit.
