Fixin Red 2020 | Wine from Domaine Pierre Gelin

The Pierre Gelin estate, founded in 1925 by Pierre Gelin, is currently managed by Pierre-Emmanuel Gelin, successor to Stéphen Gelin who has been operating it since 1969. The estate is distinguished by its careful cultural approach, applying a reasoned pest control and using natural fertilizers from organic farming. Selective disbudding and manual leaf removal guarantee grapes of optimal quality. Respectful of the environment, the estate collects rainwater for cleaning tractors and uses a phytobac to treat rinsing water. Traditional vinification, combined with new oak barrels depending on the Crus and vintages, ensures high quality wines, aged between 20 and 22 months and marketed after a year or two of storage.

The Fixin Red 2020 from Domaine Pierre Gelin, nicknamed "winter wine", is distinguished by its brilliant purple colour. Its bouquet is a mixture of floral (violet, peony), fruity (blackcurrant, morello cherry, quince), musky and peppery aromas, sometimes with notes of cherry stone. Tannic in its youth, it offers a round attack and a delicate texture, guaranteeing a great conservation capacity.
