Domaine Derey Fixin 1er Cru 'Les Hervelets' 2021
The Wine
90-92 Points Jasper Morris MW 'More Arvelets than Hervelets in the blend. A solid darker crimson-purple. Slight lack of freshness on the nose, but it is not in bottle yet, so will doubtless be refreshed. Plenty of volume in the middle, robust tannins behind. Hard to place but pretty good in the darker fruit style with a touch of liquorice. Drink from 2026-2031.'
