The 2022 Domaine Derey Fixin Les Échalais Rouge is a refined and expressive Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in the acclaimed Les Échalais vineyard in Fixin. Produced with a focus on sustainable viticulture and terroir expression, it showcases vibrant fruit, elegant structure and the distinctive character of this northern Côte de Nuits appellation. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and redcurrant, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, gentle spice and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully balanced texture, delivering flavours of black cherry, cranberry and blackberry layered with hints of cedar, earthy spice and mineral complexity. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully refined, combining purity with impressive finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Burgundy for lovers of elegant Pinot Noir seeking authenticity, freshness and classic Côte de Nuits character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years. Ideal with roast duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, grilled quail or mature Comté cheese.
