The 2022 Domaine Derey Fixin Premier Cru Les Hervelets Rouge is an elegant and structured Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in one of Fixin's finest Premier Cru vineyards. Produced with a focus on terroir expression and minimal intervention, it showcases vibrant fruit, refined tannins and the distinctive character of this northern Côte de Nuits appellation. The nose is fragrant and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and redcurrant, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, sweet 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, elegant and beautifully refined, offering both freshness and excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Burgundy for lovers of refined Pinot Noir seeking elegance, structure and authentic Côte de Nuits character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with roast duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, venison or mature Comté cheese.
