Berthaut-Gerbet Fixin Rouge 2023

89-91 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Fixin Village, taken from large foudre, has a come-hither nose with pure Morello cherries and wild strawberry scents, plus a touch of briar in the background. The palate offers sucrosity on the entry, with candied orange peel infusing the red fruit and a touch of white pepper toward the finish. Generous and playful, this is a Fixin to enjoy after a year in bottle. Drink: 2026-2033. (Jan 2025)"

88-91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This is also fresh and bright though notably more deeply pitched with its aromas of earth, dark berries and a hint of the sauvage. The suave but vibrant medium weight flavors possess more volume and equally evident minerality while displaying solid length on the youthfully austere and mildly rustic finish that is notably more structured. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2025)"

90 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Bottled yesterday. A glowing energetic purple, a little blackcurrant leaf reduction, but there is energy behind. Brisk fresh cherries wrapped in a little oak, these may be early days but the 2023 Fixin is very promising. The tannins are fine this year. (11/1/24)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(All destemmed, elevage in foudre and bottled in November – roughly 2.5 ha of vines represented here.) Extra depth of darker fruit. Larger scale and with a clear extra concentration – faintly saline at the edges. Lots of finishing flavour energy too – that’s a simply excellent wine, which I think I’d still wait a year to open – of course you can keep it 20 more if you wish. (May 2025)"
