Product Description

The 2021 Fixin 1er Cru "Les Hervelets" from Domaine Pierre Gelin is one of the estate’s flagship wines—sourced from one of Fixin’s most distinguished Premier Cru sites, situated just above the village on limestone-rich soils. “Les Hervelets” consistently produces wines that combine the muscle of Fixin with the refinement and aromatic lift more typical of neighboring Chambolle-Musigny.

In the classically styled 2021 vintage, this wine delivers purity, elegance, and excellent terroir expression. Vinified with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (approx. 30% new), it offers depth and precision with great aging potential.
