Fixin Entre Deux Velles 2022

The 2022 Fixin Entre Deux Velles from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the appealing character of this lieu-dit in the northern Côte de Nuits village of Fixin.

The nose is bright and expressive, offering fresh red fruits - particularly cherries and wild raspberries - complemented by subtle earthy notes and gentle spices characteristic of Fixin. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural freshness of this cooler northern sector.

On the palate, the wine displays good concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture is refined yet structured, with fine-grained tannins providing elegant support to the pure fruit core. The limestone-rich soils contribute a precise mineral tension, while the warmth of 2022 brings welcome ripeness. The finish shows good persistence, with fruit and mineral notes carrying through.

This wine demonstrates both the distinctive character of Entre Deux Velles and Charlopin's ability to craft wines of clear terroir expression.
